Yellow Tang - 10/15/06
Hi my name is Briena. I'm doing a science fair project on the yellow tang. Do you know who found the yellow tang?
<Hi Briena... it's hard to say who first found the Yellow Tang; my guess is that it was some Hawaiian who ate it for dinner. What I can say for certain is that fish was first described for science by Bennet in 1828... quite a long time ago. Hope that is helpful - good luck on your assignment. Cheers, J -- > White variety, yellow tang
I recently saw and photographed what appeared to be a color variant
yellow tang in shallow waters of southern Maui. It was all white except
for yellow front dorsal, pectorals, pelvics, and eye rings. White caudal
fin. U of Hawaii and Bishop Museum folks (so far) have never seen a
similar color variant.
<Neat. Me neither... but have seen other "koi" varieties over the years, there and in the trade>
I can send the jpg if anyone is interested.
Does it ring a bell for anyone? I see various references to white
versions of yellow tangs on the aquarists sites. But this seems to be a
different pattern.
<Does. Do send and I'll post. Bob Fenner>
Earl Byron Re: White variety, yellow tang
Bob,
Thanks for your interest. Here are the best (and only) pics I got of
the fish. Not the best, but you can see the color patterns at least.
<Interesting. Thanks for sending this along (Bob, back out to HI next Thurs.)>
