COMMERCIAL FISHERIES OE THE HAWAIIAN ISLANDS. 
761 
The malolo catch was confined almost entirely to Oahu, only 3,080 pounds being 
secured on Hawaii and Molokai. Oau and olepa were taken only in the fisheries of 
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 onty 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.
