Description:"The blueline snapper or taape (Lutjanus kasmira) was intentionally introduced to Hawaii from French Polynesia some four decades ago. It has adapted quickly and successfully to the coastal waters of Hawaii, spread rapidly throughout the archipelago and over a large range of depths, and developed dense populations in some coastal waters of the high islands. Concern has been expressed that it may be producing negative effects on populations of native deep-water snappers or otherwise disrupting the existing valuable commercial/recreational handline fisheries for these species. The purpose of this project was to assess the potential for such negative effects".
