About this report
Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center Administrative Reports are issued to promptly disseminate scientific and technical information to marine resource managers, scientists, and general public. Their contents cover a range of topics, including biological and economic research, stock assessment, trends in fisheries, and other subjects. Administrative Reports typically have not been reviewed outside the Center. As such, they are considered informal publications. The material presented in Administrative Reports may later be published in the formal scientific literature after more rigorous verification, editing, and peer review.
Other publications are free to cite Administrative Reports as they wish provided the informal nature of the contents is clearly indicated and proper credit is given to the author(s).

INTRODUCTION A decrease in nearshore fishery resources in Hawaii has occurred in recent decades; thus, there is a pressing need to better manage Hawaiian coral reef fish stocks. However, available biological and fishery data are limited for most coral reef species. Life history information is essential for identifying distinct stocks and describing their dynamics, and thus provides the basis for stock assessments and scientifically sound fishery management (Beverton and Holt, 1957). To date, no coral reef stocks in the Hawaiian Archipelago have been determined to be overfished, but the information necessary to make accurate judgments is generally lacking. The availability of reliable life history information on growth rate and size at reproduction will allow scientists and managers to establish reference points, such as spawning potential ratio and spawning stock biomass. Therefore, reliable life-history information is a prerequisite for effective fishery management, and particularly for setting appropriate defensible levels of extraction. Beyond the valuable nature of these data for conventional fisheries management, life history information is becoming increasingly important for marine spatial planning. Recent studies have highlighted the use of life history information in evaluating the effectiveness of marine protected areas (Kaplan, 2009). An understanding of a species’ population responses to protection can be obtained from knowledge of life history characteristics such as growth and reproductive capacity. Further, where life history information is available, population dynamics can be considered when determining optimum sizes and locations of protected areas along with other factors such as movement and migration. The collection and dissemination of life history information for coral reef fishes in Hawaii has been identified as a priority by stakeholders. In 2007 the University of Hawaii at Hilo hosted a workshop on “Hawaii Marine Resources: Life History” with the goals of identifying life history information needed for management and developing strategies to work collectively to obtain this information. The need to develop a catalog of existing specimens suitable for life history work was an outcome of this workshop. The following is a summary of existing coral reef fish specimens suitable for life history work in Hawaii. Information is organized by specimen location, with the primary contact person listed at the top of the table. Only species groups with greater than 5 specimens were included. Interested parties should contact the person/place listed at the top of each table for availability of samples.
