This triggerfish, also known by its Hawaiian name, humuhumunukunukuāpuaʻa meaning "triggerfish with a snout like a pig" is one of several species of triggerfish. It is often asserted that the Hawaiian name is one of the longest words in the Hawaiian language and that "the name is longer than the fish."
