Kalaupapa National Historical Park (Kala) Marine Fish Monitoring Program Annual Status Report for 2008: Pacific Island Network (Natural Resource Data Series Nps / Pacn / Nrds?2012/283) National Park Service

The purpose of this report was to document the status of the marine fish assemblage at KALA in 2008 and examine changes from 2006 to 2008. First, the status of the entire assemblage in 2008 was analyzed for species richness, density, biomass and diversity using spatial distribution maps. Second, the trophic composition of the entire assemblage in 2008 was examined for both density and biomass. Third, the top ten species in 2008 in terms of density and biomass were listed to examine specific components of the assemblage. Finally, trends in the entire assemblage from 2006-2008 were plotted for species richness, density, biomass, and diversity.
