Why was the data set created?

Study was performed to understand the impact of roi, an introduced species, on Hawaiian reef fishes and fisheries.

How was the data set created?

1. From what previous works were the data drawn?
2. How were the data generated, processed, and modified?

   Date: Unknown (process 1 of 1)

   Field studies were conducted on Oahu and the Big Island by divers. Fish specimen were caught for laboratory analysis. Fish were measured and weighed using basic measuring tape and weight scales. MIA tests run to check for Ciguatera. Three tests were run per fish, one with tissue from the head of the fish, one from the belly, and one from the tail. Fish in tanks were utilized to examine feeding, digestion, and decomposition. Person who carried out this activity:
