Stock Assessment of the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep7 Bottomfish Complex Through 2010 (open access)

Stock Assessment of the Main Hawaiian Islands Deep7 Bottomfish Complex Through 2010

From abstract: A stock assessment of the main Hawaiian Islands "Deep7" bottomfish complex was conducted through fishing year 2010, including projections to determine total allowable commercial catches (TACs) and their probabilities of overfishing. This assessment was conducted using re-audited bottomfish catch and effort data from commercial catch reports for the years 1948-2010.

Censuses and Interatoll Movements of the Hawaiian Monk Seal on Laysan Island, 1985 (open access)

Censuses and Interatoll Movements of the Hawaiian Monk Seal on Laysan Island, 1985

Abstract: Research on the Laysan Island population of the endangered Hawaiian monk seal, Monachus schauinslandi, was conducted from 2 march to 30 November 1985. census totals excluding pups ranged from 76 to 147, an average increase of nearly 20 animals from the 1984 census results. Overall monthly haul-out distribution for all seals showed highest use in the north ecological unit followed by the west unit. Relatively few animals hauled out in the eastern and southern portions of the island. Interatoll movement of nine seals was documented, resulting in a net increase of three animals to the Laysan Island population.
