In which ocean will you find a species of sea chub called the "Microcanthus strigatus" which are located east of a string of islands annexed by the United States in 1898?
Stripey The stripey, "Microcanthus strigatus", is a species of sea chub native to the Pacific Ocean from Japan and China to Australia and east to the Hawaiian Islands. It can be found on reefs along the coast and in lagoons at depths from 1 to . This species grows to 16 cm in length. It can also be found in the aquarium trade. This species is the only known member of its genus.
Line Islands The Line Islands, Teraina Islands or Equatorial Islands, is a chain of atolls (with partially or fully enclosed lagoons) and coral islands (with a surrounding reef). Kingman Reef is a largely submerged and Filippo Reef is shown on some maps, although its existence is doubted. The islands were formed by volcanic activity and are located in the central Pacific Ocean, south of the Hawaiian Islands. The 11 islands stretch for 2,350 km in a northwest–southeast direction, making it one of the longest island chains of the world. Eight of the islands form part of Kiribati, while the remaining three are United States territories grouped with the United States Minor Outlying Islands. Only Kiritimati and Tabuaeran atolls and Teraina Island have a permanent population.
