Shauna Kehaunani Tom presenting. Opihi (Cellana spp.) are one of the most prized species harvested in Hawai?i, due to their cultural significance to Hawaiians and their high economic value. ?In Hawai?i, ?opihi are considered the fish of death because they are located in the inter-tidal zone with large wave action, so people risk their lives while harvesting ?opihi.? ?Opihi are also an important source of protein, vitamins A & D, phosphorous and iron, before foodstuff began to be imported. There are three endemic Cellana species, C. exarata (makaiauli), C. sandwicensis (??linalina), and C. talcosa (k??ele), distributed throughout Hawai'i. We investigated the distribution and density of ?opihi during various lunar phases on Hawai?i Island and on Pihemanu (Midway Atoll) in the Northwestern Hawaiian Islands to better understand ?opihi ecology across the Hawaiian archipelago from a cultural perspective.? The alongshore transect survey at Puhi Bay, Hilo, Hawai?i revealed that ??linalina are larger than makaiauli but exhibit lower densities during all three moon phases.? ??linalina are favored over makaiauli, so their lower densities may be attributed to higher fishing pressure of this species.? No true ?opihi were found on Pihemanu and may be due to the lack of connectivity with other populations.? This research provided data on previously poorly studied population dynamics and ecology of ?opihi which are model species for culturally appropriate conservation efforts in Hawai?i for their cultural and economic importance.? Further investigation on harvesting pressure of ?opihi in correlation to their densities at Kalaupapa National Historic Park, Molokai, is underway.
