aloha from hawaii

  • We are currently upgrading MFK. thanks! -neo
Nope, I am not from there, I came across these online.
The Guamensis is supposed to be pretty common in the lower reaches of streams on Hawaii (it takes most small baits like worms), the O'opu alamoo is not common and only found in mountain streams there, the O'opu nopili isa supposed to be common in most streams. Here is a link to a hawaiian site and one to a page on fishbase that shows many of the O'opu (just check the links for the Hawaiian ones.

The fish I mention have FW populations, a lot of the O'opus live and breed in FW but the eggs wash down to salt water to hatch and as soon as the fry leave the planctonic stage they move back upstream to mature. Here are two examples, the O'opu nakea (Awaous guamensis) that reaches 10", and the O'opu alamoo (Lentipes concolor) that only gets 2 3/4" long and is found above Akaka Falls on the Big Island. Both pics are by Stender.

The fish in the first pic are very common. I catch those all the time when I go to get feeder guppies.

The second fish is VERY rare and should NOT be taken from the stream.
