Title:Data collected from underwater visual surveys of fish stocks at twenty-three sites in West Hawaii, 1999 - 2005 (NODC Accession 0002767)
Abstract:Data are from underwater visual surveys of fish stocks at 23 sites in West Hawaii. Survey sites are 8 to 14 m deep and are all located on reef shelfs with moderate to high Porites compressa cover, the predominant habitat type at that depth on West Hawaii reefs, and the key habitat for the majority of fishes harvested for the aquarium trade. The survey program began as the West Hawaii Aquarium Project (WHAP) but since 2004 has continued as part of DAR's Main Hawaiian Islands Coral Reef Monitoring Program.
