COMMERCIAL FISHERIES OF THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 473 
The irrigation dams and ditches on Maui contain numbers of carp 
and gold-fish, but no commercial use is made of them as yet. The 
Japanese and Chinese take them in large numbers for home consumption. 
The fresh-water streams contain gold-fish, oopu, uwau, and opai, 
but practically no commercial use is made of these, although large 
quantities are taken by the natives for home use.
