The fish ponds on Hawaii are of very little importance at present. 
While there are a number at various places around the island, only four 
were used commercially. Gill nets alone were used in the fish ponds, 
and their yield in 1900 was only 1,853 pounds, valued at $416. 
Commercial fishing was carried on in but two rivers, the Wailoa and 
Wailuke, both in the district of Hilo. In the Wailoa River baskets, 
spears, and lines were employed. The only commercial fishery for 
frogs on the islands was carried on in this river. This fishery began 
in 1900, the year under investigation. Lines alone were used in the 
Wailuke River, amaama being the species sought for. 
The following table shows the yield and value of the river fisheries 
of Hilo in 1900:

This is a small island 6 miles west of Maui. The raising of sheep 
is the only business of the island, 10 persons being employed. These 
people have a seine which they use in catching a supply of fish for 
their own consumption. Formerly they sent the surplus to Lahaina 
whenever an extra large catch was made, but during the past two 
years they have evidently done but little, as nothing has been received
