Translating to “lei making” or “crescent bay” in Hawaiian, the Hanalei River journeys through pristine jungle wilderness, taro fields, pastureland, and the towns of Hanalei and Princeville before entering Hanalei Bay, a white sand river mouth home to super corals,5 legendary surfing and snorkeling,6 and a variety of marine life.

  • Behavioral Ecology of Indigenous Stream Fishes in Hawai'i
    Biology of Hawaiian Streams and Estuaries. Edited by N.L. Evenhuis 11 & J.M. Fitzsimons. Bishop Museum Bulletin in Cultural and Environmental Studies 3: 11–21 (2007). Behavioral Ecology of Indigenous Stream Fishes in Hawai‘i J. MICHAEL FITZSIMONS & MARK G. MCRAE Museum of Natural Science, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, Louisiana 70803, USA; email: fitzsi- [email protected]; [email protected] ROBERT T. NISHIMOTO Division of Aquatic Resources, 75 Aupuni Street, Hilo, Hawai‘i 96720, USA; email: [email protected] Abstract Five species of amphidromous fishes comprise the indigenous vertebrate fauna of Hawaiian streams. All have a marine larval phase, and, as adults, they live in freshwater and brackish environments marked by frequent flash floods. Although these fishes are closely related and live under similar con- ditions in the ocean and in streams, they are remarkably diverse in their behavior and ecology. They usually occupy species-typical sections of streams ranging from near the headwaters down to the mouth or estuary; species specificity is evident also in habitat selection by adults. Two species (Eleotris sandwicensis and Stenogobius hawaiiensis) are unable to climb waterfalls. Among the climb- ing species, two (Awaous guamensis and Lentipes concolor) use their pelvic disk and lateral fins for climbing, and the fifth species (Sicyopterus stimpsoni) uses the mouth and pelvic disk as holdfasts. The pattern of instream distribution coincides with the relative development of pelvic and oral suck- ers used in clinging to rocks and climbing waterfalls and with each species’ station-holding ability in artificial streams, but the causal factors that prompt new recruits entering from the ocean to continue moving upstream to adult habitats is incompletely understood.

  • Significance of Unimpeded Flows in Limiting the Transmission of Parasites from Exotics to Hawaiian Stream Fishes 1
    Micronesica 30(1 ): 117-125, 1997 Significance of Unimpeded Flows in Limiting the Transmission of Parasites from Exotics to Hawaiian Stream Fishes 1 J. MICHAEL FITZSIMONS, REIKO L. SCHOENFUSS Museum of Natural Science Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 USA and TONYA C. SCHOENFUSS Department of Dairy Science, Louisiana State University, Baton Rouge, LA 70803 USA Abstract-Streams with a full complement of native amphidromous fishes and macroinvertebrates are common features on windward slopes of four of the five major high islands comprising the southeastern section of the Hawaiian Archipelago. Strong perennial flows and flash floods produced by mountain storms flush away accumulations of debris and sediments, terminate algal blooms, and open up streams where they flow into the sea. Each of these effects is beneficial for the five indigenous fish species, limited to gobioids, which lay their eggs in fresh water and have a lengthy marine larval phase before migrating back into streams where they mature. A fortuitous advantage of the dynamic nature of Hawaiian streams is the elimination or control of introduced fishes ( especially poe­ ciliids) carrying helminth parasites capable of becoming pathogenic in native fishes. Results of experiments with artificial streams support the hypothesis that Hawaiian freshwater gobioid fishes are able to move from the ocean into streams as larvae and can occupy discrete sections of streams as adults at water velocities that displace exotics. A basal flow of 20 cm/second or greater at the stream mouth is recommended for stream maintenance and restoration. The unequaled isolation of the volcanic high islands in the southeastern reach of the Hawaiian Chain has resulted in a depauparate freshwater fish fauna with a high degree of endemism (Devick et al.

    Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area KĪPAHULU MOKU | Proposal & Management Plan Photo: Kīpahulu ‘Ohana Backed by years of careful observation, research, and feedback from those most intimately connected to these resources, the proposed Community-Based Subsistence Fishing Area (CBSFA) and its attendant management plan will proactively protect subsistence resources subject to a range of ever-growing pressures and threats, and reduce the potential for human conflict that may arise from differing perspectives on appropriate harvesting behavior. The recommended regulations in the Kīpahulu Moku Proposal and Management Plan represent a positive step toward perpetuating critically important public trust resources, while recognizing the traditional and customary practices and subsistence lifestyles unique to Kīpahulu. The proposed rules formalize a “code of conduct” that can guide the harvesting practices of all who may seek to gather nearshore resources in the waters of Kīpahulu moku.

This amendment provided that the Commission on Water Resource Management (CWRM) “identify rivers or streams, or a portion of a river or stream, which appropriately may be placed within a wild and scenic rivers system, to be preserved and protected as part of the public trust ... the term ‘wild and scenic rivers’ means rivers or streams, or a portion of a river or stream, of high natural quality or that possess significant scenic value...” The Hawaii Stream Assessment (HSA) was made possible through the support of the National Park Service’s River and Trails Conservation Assistance Program.

Freshwater-Linked and Seawater-Linked Fishes 6. Growth and Osmoregulation 7. Conclusions and Perspectives The transition from freshwater to seawater is integral to the life history of many fishes. Diverse migratory fishes express anadromous, catadromous, and amphidromous life histories, while others make incomplete transits between freshwater and seawater. The physiological mechanisms of osmoregulation are widely conserved among phylogenetically diverse species. Diadromous fishes moving between freshwater and seawater develop osmoregulatory mechanisms for different environmental salinities. Freshwater to seawater transition involves hormonally mediated changes in gill ionocytes and the transport proteins associated with hypoosmoregula- tion, increased seawater ingestion and water absorption in the intestine, 253 Euryhaline Fishes: Volume 32 Copyright r 2013 Elsevier Inc.
