Source: R Bruce Denney - Based on an old chant, the `o`opu or goby fish (awaous stamineus), endemic to Hawai`i, was food for the ancient Hawaiians, and needs both salt and fresh water to survive. Many of the ancient chants used the o`opu as a metaphor for partners in sexual activity. Known also as the sweet water fish, it was used to indicate purity of water because it cannot live in polluted water and points up when feeding. The `o`opu hi`ukole or red-tail goby, is the rarest of the stream gobies. . Translated by Vicki II Rodrigues	`O`opu Hi`ukole
