This biosampling project allows for the expansion of the underfunded field-sampling program at the Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center (PIFSC) in the Main Hawaiian Islands and allows the PIFSC Life History Program (LHP) to more fully develop existing cooperative research connections with regional fishers and wholesale buyers. Under this grant, PIFSC has conducted small boat sampling operations around Oahu to target juvenile eteline snappers, Pacific Islands Fisheries Group fishermen were asked to collect specific sizes of whole fish and bring to LHP staff for processing, and a buyer at the United Fishing Agency (UFA) fish auction was contracted to target large fish and intermediate lengths to fully supplement the field and fisher collections. Bottomfish biosampling data is queried often to identify size and temporal gaps for each species and sample requests are updated accordingly. To acquire information needed to estimate longevity, growth, and maturity as well as sample across the entire size and age range of seven Main Hawaiian Islands eteline snappers (Etelis coruscans, Etelis marshi, Pristipomoides filamentosus, Pristipomoides zonatus, Aphareus rutilans, Pristipomoides sieboldii, and Aprion virescens) important to the Hawaii Bottomfish Fishery. Little or no information on age or length at maturity is available for these species and this project will allow the LHP to acquire the specimens required to complete such studies. underDevelopment Schemmel, Eva M eva.schemmel@noaa.gov Contact via email. pointOfContact asNeeded FRMD LHP PIFSC age at maturity bottomfish eteline snappers length at maturity life history maturity theme Main Hawaiian Islands (MHI) place DOC/NOAA/NMFS/PIFSC > Pacific Islands Fisheries Science Center, National Marine Fisheries Service, NOAA, U.S. Department of Commerce dataCentre Global Change Master Directory (GCMD) Data Center Keywords 2017-04-24 publication 8.5 Earth Science Data and Information System, Earth Science Projects Division, Goddard Space Flight Center (GSFC), National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) https://forum.earthdata.nasa.gov/app.php/tag/GCMD%2BKeywords GCMD Keyword Forum Page Global Change Master Directory (GCMD). 2025.

Exact locations (Lat and Long of where fish were caught) are available for fish caught during LHP small boat fishing operations. Funding for this project began in July 2014, specimens were purchased shortly after funding became available. 2014-07-01 false eng false Spreadsheet Column Notes for Small-vessel Survey and Auction Sampling to Estimate Growth and Maturity of Eteline Snappers 2025-02-13 publication dataset Representativeness All fish obtained through this project are included in the data set. The LHP requests fisherman and wholesale buyers to purchase specific fish sizes and lengths, therefore, this data is not representative of the entire bottomfish catch. Completeness Measure All data collected through this project will be useful in determining age and size at maturity for each species. Data was collected in by PIFSC staff, and entered in table format into electronic spreadsheets.
