Hawaiian Spotted Toby
Canthigaster jactator
The Hawaiian Spotted Toby is a small Hawaiian pufferfish endemic to the central and western Pacific around the Hawaiian Islands. It inhabits shallow reef and lagoon habitats and is best known for its spotted pattern and ability to inflate when threatened.
Herring Cale
Olisthops cyanomelas
Herring Cale (Olisthops cyanomelas) is a small marine fish of Australian temperate waters, often schooling near coastal reefs and kelp. It is not a common angling target, and published species-specific fishing information is limited.
High Cockscomb
Anoplarchus purpurescens
High cockscomb (Anoplarchus purpurescens) is a small nearshore marine sculpin-like fish from the North Pacific, best known from kelp and rocky coastal habitats. It is not a common angling target; published life-history and fishing information are limited.
Highfin Chub
Kyphosus cinerascens
Highfin Chub (Kyphosus cinerascens) is a tropical marine kyphosid that grazes on algae and drift plant matter along shallow reefs and surge zones. It is more of a coastal forager than a true game fish, and it is seldom targeted by anglers.
Highhat
Pareques acuminatus
Highhat (Pareques acuminatus) is a small Atlantic drum that lives close to structure and uses its long first dorsal spine as a display feature. It is not a major sport fish, but it can be caught incidentally around reefs, wrecks, and pilings.
Hoese's Sandgoby
Istigobius hoesei
Hoese's Sandgoby (Istigobius hoesei) is a small tropical sand-dwelling goby known from occurrence records rather than extensive angling literature. It is associated with shallow coastal sandy habitats and is not generally considered a target game fish.
Hogfish
Lachnolaimus maximus
Hogfish (Lachnolaimus maximus) is a Caribbean and western Atlantic wrasse prized for its white flesh and spear-like snout. It lives over reefs and hard bottom, especially where sponges and crustaceans are abundant.
Honeycomb Grouper
Epinephelus merra
Honeycomb Grouper (Epinephelus merra) is a small coral-reef grouper of the Indo-Pacific, usually on shallow reef flats and lagoon margins. It sits tight to cover and ambushes small fishes and crustaceans; it is much more often encountered by small-boat or shore anglers than targeted as a major gamefish.
Horned Blenny
Parablennius intermedius
Horned Blenny is a small intertidal blenny of rocky shores, named for the paired horn-like head appendages seen in breeding males. It is a secretive algae- and detritus-grazer that shelters in crevices and tide pools.
Horned Bream
Diplodus cervinus
Horned Bream (Diplodus cervinus) is a coastal sparid bream of rocky reefs and shallow hard-bottom habitat in the eastern Atlantic and Mediterranean, with records also from adjacent subtropical waters. It is not a common sport target everywhere, but it can be taken by anglers fishing natural bait over rough ground.
Hornyhead Chub
Nocomis biguttatus
Hornyhead Chub (*Nocomis biguttatus*) is a stout minnow of clear, cool streams in central North America, best known for the male’s head tubercles and nest-building with pebbles. It is not a major game fish, but it’s a useful bait species and often found over gravel runs and riffles.
Horse-eye Jack
Caranx latus
Horse-eye Jack (Caranx latus) is a strong, fast jack found in warm coastal waters of the western Atlantic, commonly around reefs, wrecks, bays, and offshore structure. It is an aggressive predator and hard-fighting angler's species, but not a prime table fish.
