caught by local fisherman in Bonaire, Netherlands Antilles]]The Wahoo
(Acanthocybium solandri) is a dark blue scombrid fish found worldwide in
tropical and subtropical seas. Some say that the name "Wahoo" is a
derivation of the name of the Hawaiian Island Oahu, while others say the
name derives from the exclamation of some fishermen, "Wahoo!" who have
hooked into the extremely fast running fish. The fish is also known as
Ono, after the Hawaiian word for "delicious", ?ono, Jack mackerel, and
Peto.
The body is elongate and covered with small, scarcely visible, scales; the
back is an iridescent blue green, while the sides are silvery, with a
pattern of vertical blue bars. These colors fade rapidly at death. The
mouth is large, and both the upper and lower jaws have a somewhat sharper
appearance than those of King or Spanish Mackerel. Specimens have been
recorded at up to 2.5 meters (8 ft) in length, and weighing up to 83 kil
