Observations and collections were made in November 1999 to January 2000 at 24 stations from variety of habitats and environments throughout the bay and from one site at Moku Manu Island outside the bay. A comprehensive literature review of published papers and books and unpublished reports was conducted to develop a listing of previous species reports, and the marine invertebrates, fish, mollusk and algae collections at Bishop Museum were queried for information regarding all organisms that had been collected from Kaneohe Bay. The assembled data were developed into a relational data base used to determine the 1999-2000 percent component of the total biota that was non indigenous or cryptogenic, the number of new reports for the bay versus the number of previous reports not found, and a chronology of first reports of introductions. The 1999-2000 surveys observed or collected a total of 786 taxa including 617 species, more than six times the number of taxa previously reported by any single survey of biota in the bay. Of these, 59% of the total taxa and 51% of the named species were new reports for Kaneohe Bay after consideration of nomenclatural name changes. However, only 24% of the total taxa previously reported for the bay were found by the present study. This may be due in part to misidentifications in previous studies, non-sampling of meiobiota and plankton by the present study, or actual disappearance of some species from the bay such as the introduced mollusk Haliotis sp. However, the results suggest that further sampling and observation would produce considerably more taxa and species. Historically, 204 nonindigenous or cryptogenic species (collectively termed NIS) have been reported in Kaneohe Bay since 1920, and 116 were found on the 1999-2000 surveys, the most that have been determined for any single study in the Hawaiian Islands or Johnston Atoll. In terms of the component of total identified species, NIS composed 18.8%, among the highest percentage components that has been found in Hawaii and second only to the 23% value that was determined for Pearl Harbor. Fifty-two of the NIS were new reports for the bay. However, all but 16 of the new bay reports had previously been reported in Hawaii, and those 16 are designated cryptogenic and subject to revision. This dataset includes the complete report from this study in PDF format and output from the relational database as spreadsheet files. Purpose: The primary purpose was to identify non-indigenous or invasive species in the nearshore marine ecosystem.

Literature Search A variety of sources of information on the environmental conditions and biological communities of Kaneohe Bay were examined. Literature consulted included published papers in the open scientific literature, taxonomy-based monographs and books, unpublished reports for environmental studies in the harbors, and newspaper and magazine articles that were concerned with the development or environmental and biological communities of the harbors. Resources that were consulted in this search were the libraries of Bishop Museum, the University of Hawaii, Manoa and Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology and AECOS Inc. B. Bishop Museum Collections Bishop Museum collections databases for algae, invertebrates, malacology and ichthyology were reviewed for all marine or estuarine organisms indicated to have been collected in Kane'ohe Bay. The retrieved data were assembled into a combined database containing taxa identity, taxonomic authority, collection location and date, collector and collectors notes, when available. This information is included with the general listing of all taxa for the study developed from all sources. C. Field Surveys Samples were collected from 24 sites inside and one outside of Kaneohe Bay using methods previously employed on nonindigenous species surveys in Hawaii, Midway and Johnston Atoll. Collections and observations were made by two experienced investigators sampling as large a variety of habitats as possible at each station while snorkeling or using Scuba. One diver recorded the sight-identifiable invertebrate macrofauna and macroalgae and all fishes swimming in the area, The second diver sampled organisms from hard surfaces and sediments from the intertidal zone to the base of the reef. Macro- organisms were collected by hand, hard surfaces were scraped with a chisel, and several liters of coral rubble were placed in an 80 um mesh bag and transported back to the laboratory for later inspection and removal of cryptic organisms. When present at a survey site, whole macroalgae plants were collected and preserved in 70% ethanol, and epiphytic organisms were later rinsed from the algae and preseryed in ethanol for future processing. Collected organisms and substratum, which ranged 4-8 liters in total volume for each station, were inspected on site, and selected hydroids, anemones and tunicates were removed and relaxed in a solution of Epsom salts and seawater before preserving in 5% formalin. The remaining organisms were preserved on site in 70% alcohol before returning the samples to the laboratory for sorting and identification of organisms. Sediment dwelling organisms were sampled at each station, using cores 12.5 cm diameter by 15 cm deep pushed into the substratum. Sediments obtained were sieved through a 0.5 mm mesh screen and the organisms retained by the screen which were placed in plastic bags and preserved in 70% alcohol until processing. Specimens collected were sorted and identified to species or the lowest practicable taxa, using dissecting or compound microscope magnification when necessary. Identifications were made using descriptions available in Reef and Shore Fauna of Hawaii Sections 1 to 4 (published), 5 and 6 (unpublished), various taxonomic references, and voucher specimens in the Bishop Museum collections. Specimens from various groups were sent to taxonomic experts for final identifications. Source_Used_Citation_Abbreviation: Coles, S.L., R.C. DeFelice & L.G. Eldredge. 2002.
