Stenogobius genivittatus

O'opu naniha
This species is indigenous but not endemic, which means that it is found
naturally in Hawai'i, but is also found in other islands in the Pacific Basin.
It is omnivorous and found only in the lower reaches of the stream and in
estuaries. The head is marked by a dark band that extends under the eye
and on to the cheeck, and the body may be marked with 12 vertical bands.
Large specimens reach 6 inches (15 cm) in length.
