Population Monitoring of the Hawaiian Monk Seal, Monachus schauinslandi, and Captive Maintenance Project at Kure Atoll, 1988
Abstract: Data on the Hawaiian monk seal, Monachus schauinslandi, were collected at Kure Atoll from 23 February to 20 October 1988. Beach counts made on 54 atoll-wide censuses averaged 30.0 seals, including pups of the year. Eight pups (five females and three males) were born; seven survived to weaning. Thirteen injuries to 12 seals were documented, and 5 seals became entangled in marine debris. An estimated 1,195 kg of debris were removed from beaches. Thirty-two of 40 seals tagged at Kure Atoll since 1981 were resighted. Five weaned female pups were maintained in a protective enclosure until 20-21 September, and a yearling Kure Atoll seal, which had been rehabilitated in Honolulu, was maintained in the enclosure from 22 March to 12 May.

Corrected Catch Histories and Logbook Accuracy for Billfishes (Isiophoridae) in the Hawaii-based Longline Fishery
From abstract: This paper presents corrected catch histories, standardized catch rates, and evaluations of the accuracy of federally mandated commercial logbooks for billfishes taken as incidental catch by the Hawaii-based longline fishery. The study was conducted because billfish misidentifications in logbooks caused by similarities in body size, shape, and coloration have long represented a major challenge in monitoring this fishery.

Comprehensive Evaluation of Shallow Reef Fish Populations at French Frigate Shoals and Midway Atoll, Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (1992/93,1995-2000)
From abstract: This document represents the sixth and last of a series of Honolulu Laboratory reports providing estimates of shallow reef fish population densities based on diver-surveys conducted at roughly annual intervals at two sites (French Frigate Shoals (FFS) and Midway Atoll (Midway) in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands (NWHI)). The purpose of the time series has been to develop the capability to characterize the standing stock densities of shallow reef fishes, as one potentially important component of the monk seal forage base with precision sufficient to detect twofold changes over a decadal time scale when sampled at a yearly frequency.

Field Manual for Phocid Necropsies (Specifically Monachus schauinslandi)
From introduction: This necropsy manual is a guide for students and technicians in the examination of dead phocids, specifically the Hawaiian monk seal. With this manual, the person performing the necropsy should be able to conduct a gross examination of a monk seal and collect the necessary tissues for microscopic pathology and toxicological studies. The necropsy instructions are based on the assumption that the seal's carcass is very fresh and time is not a limiting factor.
