Description:

The commercial fish landings for the State of Hawaii have fluctuated between 8,891 metric tons (MT) valued at $3.6 million in 1965 and A,400 MT valued at $6.3 million in 1975. The annual commercial fish landings for Hawaii for the past 20 years averaged 5,942 MT valued at an average of $5.8 million. The landings are small when compared to those of many other coastal states and contributed but a small portion to the State's income. Although a rich variety of fishes are available, many are not of commercial value. Eleven species comprise over 90% of the State's commercial landings (Table 1). The aku or skipjack tuna, Katsuwonus pelamis. contributed from 40 to 60% of the annual commercial landings.
