Beautiful Bluestripe Snipper.

Look at this fish below called Bluestripe Snipper. It was once a sports fish in Hawaii.

Though not a native of Hawaii, it was introduced in the 1950s to be used as a food and sport fish. But unfortunately that plan misfired.

It is reported that this wonderful fish is fighting with the native species for food and space!
It is usually marketed fresh, and is common in the markets of many countries. It is one of the principal species in the Hawaiian handline(a form of fishing) fishery but it fetches low prices at market.
