The hāpuku, hapuka or whapuku (Polyprion oxygeneios), also known as groper, is a wreckfish of the family Polyprionidae, found around southern Australia, southern South America, South Africa, Tristan da Cunha and New Zealand at depths between 30 and 800 m. Its length is between 60 and 180 cm, and it can weigh up to 100 kg. It is sometimes described locally as cod, although that properly refers to other fish.

Hydatostega is a genus of flies in the family Dolichopodidae. Most of its species are found in the Americas, where it is mainly restricted to montane habitats and high altitudes or latitudes, while three species are known from Tristan da Cunha, a group of islands in the South Atlantic Ocean. Hydatostega was formerly considered a synonym of Hydrophorus, but was recently restored as a separate genus.
