 the island of Oahu. Lolohau, nohupinao, okuhekuhe, wolu, frogs, ounauna alealea 

 and pa were taken only on Hawaii, while the carp and puuili catch was confined solely 

 to Kauai, li, pakaikawale, puwalu, and loli were taken only on. Maui. 



A remarkable feature of the fisheries was that but five species — aku, oio, uku, 

 ulaula, and ulua — were taken commercially on all of the islands. It is possible that 

 some of the others are also to be found around all of the islands, but are not sought 

 for commercially.
