Description:"This project summarizes the current status of the Hawaiian black coral fishery and compares results with historical measurements. To achieve this, historical methodology where possible was used to make comparisons as similar as possible. The goals and objectives of this project included: 1) measure black coral colonies to determine the current age structure, 2) collect samples to measure genetic relatedness of black corals across the Main Hawaiian Islands to address possible distinct populations, 3) measure the density of black coral colonies in the areas sampled for population structure, 4) determine the growth rate and compare with the historically determined growth rate for the targeted species, and 5) develop a draft management plan based on all available information (new and historical)".
