He iʻa ʻeleʻele no ka ʻohana marlin, nā ihe, a i ʻole nā waʻa. ʻO kekahi o nā ʻano nui loa o kēia ʻohana. Hōʻike ʻia ka iʻa e ke kino ikaika ikaika, ʻano o nā mea ihe a pau. Aia ma ke kua he ʻelua peʻa like ke ʻano. ʻO ka mua, ka nui, noho i ka hapa nui o ke kua a hoʻomaka ma ke kumu o ka iwi poʻo. Aia nā Keels ma ka peduncle caudal.

Ua uhi ʻia ke kino o nā marlin ʻeleʻele me nā unahi ʻeleʻele oblong, i hoʻopaʻa ʻia ma lalo o ka ʻili. ʻO kahi hiʻohiʻona koʻikoʻi ʻo ka pectoral fins, i hoʻopaʻa paʻa ʻia i kahi kūlana a hiki ʻole ke hoʻihoʻi i ka wā o nā maneuvers a me ka neʻe kiʻekiʻe. Hoʻokaʻawale ʻia ka waihoʻoluʻu o ka iʻa e kahi palena maopopo ma waena o ke kua ʻeleʻele a me nā ʻaoʻao keʻokeʻo kālā.

No ka poʻe lawaiʻa, he mea nui ka loaʻa ʻana o ka marlin i ka meaʻai ma nā papa luna o ka wai (epipelagial). Hiki iā lākou ke hopu i nā iʻa nui, akā ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hahai ʻana i nā ʻelele like ʻole o ka ichthyofauna: mai nā ʻōpae a me nā heʻe i ka tuna. ʻO ka hapa nui, noho ka marlin ʻeleʻele i nā pūʻulu liʻiliʻi, akā ʻaʻole i hana i nā pūʻulu nui. He mau i'a ma'amau e noho ana ma ka papa luna o ka wai. ʻOiai kakaʻikahi ka iʻa e hoʻokokoke i kahakai, makemake lākou e noho ma kahi kokoke.
Nā ala e hopu ai i ka marlin
ʻO ka lawaiʻa ʻana he ʻano brand. No nā poʻe lawaiʻa he nui, lilo ka hopu ʻana i kēia iʻa i moeʻuhane o ke ola. ʻO ke ala nui o ka lawaiʻa amateur ʻo ka trolling. Ua mālama ʻia nā hoʻokūkū like ʻole a me nā ʻoliʻoli no ka hopu ʻana i ka trophy marlin. ʻO kahi ʻoihana holoʻokoʻa i ka lawaiʻa kai kūikawā i kēia. Eia nō naʻe, aia kekahi poʻe ʻōpio e makemake nui e hopu i ka marlin ma ka wili a lele i ka lawaiʻa. Mai poina i ka hopu ʻana i nā kānaka nui ʻaʻole pono wale ka ʻike nui, akā e akahele pū kekahi. ʻO ka hakakā ʻana i nā specimens nui, i kekahi manawa, lilo ia i hana weliweli. Hoʻohana pinepine ʻia ka lawaiʻa ʻoihana me nā ʻano laina lōʻihi, a me ke kōkua o nā koʻokoʻo ikaika.
Trolling no marlin
ʻO ka marlin ʻeleʻele, e like me nā ʻano ʻē aʻe e pili ana, ma muli o ko lākou nui a me ko lākou ʻano i manaʻo ʻia he hoa paio makemake loa i ka lawaiʻa paʻakai. No ka hopu ʻana iā lākou, pono ʻoe i ka mea lawaiʻa koʻikoʻi. He ʻano lawaiʻa kaʻa kai e like me ka waʻa a i ʻole ka waʻa. No ka lawaiʻa ʻana i ke kai a me nā wahi ākea o ke kai, hoʻohana ʻia nā moku kūikawā i lako me nā mea he nui. I ka hihia o marlin, ʻo ia, ma ke ʻano he kānāwai, nā moku kaʻa nui a me nā waʻa. ʻAʻole kēia ma muli o ka nui o nā trophies hiki ke loaʻa, akā i nā kūlana o ka lawaiʻa. ʻO nā mea nui o nā mea hana o ka moku he mau paʻa koʻokoʻo, ʻo ia hoʻi, ua lako nā waʻa me nā noho no ka pāʻani iʻa, kahi papaʻaina no ka hana ʻana i nā maunu, nā mea kani kani ikaika a me nā mea hou aku. Hoʻohana pū ʻia nā koʻokoʻo kūikawā, i hana ʻia me ka fiberglass a me nā polymers ʻē aʻe me nā pono kūikawā. Hoʻohana ʻia nā coils i ka multiplier, ka mana kiʻekiʻe. ʻO ka mea hana o nā pahu trolling e pili ana i ka manaʻo nui o ia mau mea: ikaika. ʻO kahi monofilament me ka mānoanoa a hiki i 4 mm a ʻoi aʻe paha ke ana ʻia i nā kilomita i ka wā o ia lawaiʻa. Nui nā mea kōkua i hoʻohana ʻia ma muli o ke kūlana lawaiʻa: no ka hoʻohonu ʻana i nā mea hana, no ka hoʻokomo ʻana i nā maunu ma kahi lawaiʻa, no ka hoʻopili ʻana i ka maunu, a pēlā aku, me nā mea lako he nui. ʻO ka trolling, ʻoi loa i ka wā e ʻimi ai i nā pilikua kai, he ʻano lawaiʻa pūʻulu. E like me ke kānāwai, hoʻohana ʻia kekahi mau lāʻau. I ka hihia o kahi nahu, he mea nui ka hui ʻana o ka hui no ka hopu kūleʻa. Ma mua o ka huakaʻi, pono e ʻike i nā lula o ka lawaiʻa ma ka ʻāina. I ka hapanui o nā hihia, lawe ʻia ka lawaiʻa e nā alakaʻi ʻoihana nona ke kuleana piha no ka hanana. Pono e hoʻomaopopo ʻia ʻo ka ʻimi ʻana i ka ʻimi i ke kai a i ke kai paha e pili pū me nā hola he nui o ke kali ʻana i kahi nahu, i kekahi manawa ʻaʻole i lanakila.

No ka hopu ʻana i ka marlin, hoʻohana ʻia nā maunu like ʻole: kūlohelohe a me nā mea hana. Inā hoʻohana ʻia nā lures kūlohelohe, hana nā alakaʻi akamai i mau maunu me ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā rig kūikawā. No kēia mea, hoʻohana ʻia nā kupapaʻu o nā iʻa lele, ka ʻiʻo, ka ʻili a pēlā aku. I kekahi manawa me nā mea ola. ʻO nā Wobblers, nā mea hoʻohālike like ʻole o ka ʻai marlin, me nā mea silicone, he maunu hana.
Nā wahi lawaiʻa a me nā wahi noho
E like me nā marlin ʻē aʻe, ʻeleʻele he iʻa aloha wela. Aia ka wahi noho nui i loko o ka wai wela a me ka equatorial. ʻO ka pinepine, hiki ke loaʻa nā iʻa ma nā kai kahakai o ka moana ʻĀina a me ka Moana Pākīpika. Ma waho aʻe o nā kahakai o Mexico a me Central America, ʻike pinepine ʻia ka marlin ʻeleʻele ma ke Kai Kina Hikina, ma nā wai kokoke i Indonesia a me nā mea ʻē aʻe. Ma ʻaneʻi, ʻo ka marlin ʻeleʻele kahi mea o ka lawaiʻa ʻoihana.

ʻO ka hana hou ʻana o nā marlin ʻeleʻele e like me nā marlins ʻē aʻe. Loaʻa ia i ka manawa mahana loa o ka makahiki a ʻo ke kau hoʻopulapula e pili pono ana i ka ʻāina. No ka mea, he ākea loa ka māhele ʻāina ma ka ʻaoʻao meridional a me ka latitudinal, ʻaneʻane ka makahiki holoʻokoʻa. ʻO Marlins ke oʻo i ka wahine i ka makahiki 2-4, e noʻonoʻo ana i ka ulu wikiwiki ʻana. He kiʻekiʻe loa ka fecundity o ka iʻa, akā haʻahaʻa ke ola o nā hua manu a me nā ʻōpala. ʻAi ʻia ka caviar pelargic e nā ʻano mea liʻiliʻi o nā iʻa kai.
