The ovunaa are little fish that move in schools, they are born in the ocean and start migrating from there, then they move towards the beach and go to the mouths of rivers and enter the rivers. While they are still staying in the ocean, they look white. When they enter the rivers, they look black. When they enter the river, they are big and then they are called rokoitoa. These little fish that are called ovunaa are very good to eat when they are baked in the oven and also when we cook them.
