Department of Land and Natural Resources State of Hawaii
Important and recreational species of fish in Hawaii, was investigated to obtain information on maturation and spawning, feeding habits, growth, migration, and mortality. The commercial akule catch statistics from 1948-1970 were examined to provide information on exploitation
