The boobies and gannets are known as 'skipjacktuna-birds' (鰹鳥 jiān-niǎo) in Chinese for their habit of flocking above shoals of skipjack tuna (often referred to as bonitos). The name was borrowed from Japanese in its written form, i.e., the characters used to write the Japanese name were read in the Chinese way.
