UPDATE:
The current section of the book is Jacks(Carangidae), a group of mainly predatory streamlined fish, although a few such as the Bigeye Scad and Mackerel Scad are small fish, often prey that schools in large groups, hunted by Giant Trevally, Bluefin Trevally, and other predatory fish. Trevally are part of the jack family too. In Hawaiian, Giant Trevally are known as Ulua, and Bluefin are known as Omilu.

SUMMARY:
In this book, there are no characters, aside from perhaps the author, and his mentions of other people's research and first hand experience. This book is about the fishes of Hawaii(yes, fishes is a proper word) alongside the mammals and marine reptiles in the sea. Obviously, because of this, the setting is from the big island of Hawaii to Kure atoll. Not many events really happen, as it is informative.

CONFLICT:
I would say the only conflict in this book so far is character vs society. In the barracuda section of the book, the author talks about great barracuda (Sphyraena barracuda) called 'opelu mama, that are trained by local fisherman in Hawai'i to help them catch 'opelu. However, commercial fishing charters often catch their opelu mama, and they are killed. The fisherman complain about this very much.

PREDICTION:
I have a prediction that the next chapter of the book will be about species of cardinalfish or chubs. The reason I think this is because the chapters seem to go in alphabetical order of general species, e.g. Buterflyfish(Chaetodontidae). It goes in order of the common name though, not scientific name, I am on butterflyfish currently and there are no other fish in Hawaii starting with c aside from my list.
