Muputi is the name for fish, and Kirluwarringa is the name for stingray in Tiwi. These are both nutritious food source found in the ocean waters around the Tiwi Islands, and the northern coastlines of Australia. The saltwater fish are preferred to the freshwater fish, as they are generally larger. The large stingrays often have spiritual significance for some Tiwi people and are not eaten.
