Tōtara (ika)
Ko te tōtara he momo ika me te kiri koikoi a noho ana, e ruinga ana i ngā moana pārūrū pērā i te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa. Ko te ingoa pūtaiao he Diodon hystrix.[1][2]
Kaore tēnei ika e noho i te wai moana ā-Aotearoa. Nō reira, i ingoatia te rākau tōtara (Podocarpus totara) mā te maumahara ki tēnei ika ritea mai te kitenga o tona raurau koikoi.[1]
