THE FISHERIES AND FISHING LAWS OF HAWATITIL. Oot 
The fishes of Hawaii are remarkable for their brilliancy of color, a 
trait which they share with fishes of other volcanic and coral islands of 
the Tropics. Of the many species which come into the markets nearly 
all are good food-fishes. A very few (mostly puffers— 7etraodontide) 
are poisonous—or at least noxious—and a few species living in the 
crevices of the reefs are too small to be sought for food purposes. 
As the natives mostly eat some fishes raw, certain species not of 
especial excellence when cooked are very highly valued by them. 
This is especially true of the parrot-fishes (Scarus), which sell in the 
market at prices which seem extraordinarily high. 
FOOD-FISHES. 
The following is a listof the principal fishes of the Hawaiian Islands, 
the major*ty of which are used as food, arranged according to the alpha- 
betical order of the native names, together with the identifications, so 
far as they have been determined:
