A type of fish, likely a regional or scientific term for a specific fish species found in warm waters.
The etymology is uncertain; may derive from a regional or indigenous language of the Pacific or tropical regions. Could relate to Hawaiian or other Polynesian fish names.
Fish names are wonderfully diverse and often come from indigenous languages—'atule' reminds us that colonized regions had their own detailed taxonomies before European naming systems arrived.
