Abstract:
Understanding the essential fish habitats utilized by commercially important species has become a crucial component of Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management (EBFM). Many larval and juvenile reef-associated and coastal pelagic fish populations are data-limited in the Hawaiian Islands. This study examines the spatial and temporal variability in larval distribution and abundance of ‘ōpelu (Decapterus macarellus) and akule (Selar crumenophthalmus) in West Hawaiʻi Island from 1997 to 2018.
