Aku, also known as Skipjack, is a hard fighting, fast swimming, delicious tasting member of the tuna family. Their distinct stripes and iridescent shine make for beautiful wears. This skin was obtained by our HI friend, Shaun, who's always keeping an eye out for skins about to go overboard.

Adult black rockfish (Sebastes melanops) have a mottled gray-black body often with dark stripes from the eye to the gill plate. These fish are characterized by having a bass-shaped body, a large mouth, and spinous dorsal fin. The spines are venomous and may cause pain or infection; however, are not extremely toxic.
