This on-going research project, which began in September 2010, evaluates the impact of roi removal by collaborating with local fishers to remove >90% of the roi from a patch reefs in Puako, West Hawaii. In situ observations of the introduced predatory grouper roi (Cephalopholis argus) were taken semi-annually within the coral reef ecosystem of Puako, northwest side of the Island of Hawaii October 2010 - July 2012. Visual fish transects were made at a depth range of 10-20 m. Tow board and standard visual belt transects were employed at control, reference, and treatment sites. Data include biometrics (length and weight) and biomass of roi, as well as an assemblage of other fish and feed guilds. Additional data on the movement of roi within the Puako area were collected using a fish tagging program followed by surveys for recapture and resighting. NODC Accession 0082197 contains similar data from November 2010 - June 2011. There is some overlap of data within 0082197 and the present accession. 1) Involve the local community in testing the effects of roi on fish assemblage characteristics by a predator removal experiment, 2) to assess the feasibility of roi removal as a management tool in west Hawaii, and 3) to map distributions and movements of roi in response to the 3-acre depletion experiment.

Tagging was implemented in order to assess the response of surrounding roi populations to the removal of roi at the treatment reef. Three buffer zones of 250-m concentric rings were designated with a specific tag type, color, and anatomical position on captured roi in order to facilitate underwater recognition of place of origin during subsequent underwater monitoring programs. Sixty-seven roi from the areas adjacent to the defined removal sites were captured in nets with diver-deployed handline and barrier nets, and tagged with a standard Hallprint tagging gun and t-bar tag. Tagging events were opportunistic from February to October 2011. Movements of tagged roi into the cleared area were noted during subsequent monitoring events, ranging from June 2011 to July 2012. The geographic coordinates of tagged and recaptured roi were obtained by matching the recorded time of capture/re-sight with the logged GPS time-track. 2) Roi Removal Local fishers were contracted to assist with roi removal at the treatment reef (13,366 m2) during April and May of 2011. Spear-fishing for roi occurred over the course of 11 days. Fishers removed roi from the treatment reef with the number of fishers and hours fished recorded. Roi were collected, counted, sized, and weighed on site. Each diver's individual effort in dive time was recorded, along with the number of roi dispatched. Dive times ranged from 37 min to 56 min, and number of dives ranged from 1-3 per day. 3) Fish Assemblage Monitoring A Before-After-Control-Impact experimental design was used to assess changes in reef fish assemblages associated with roi removal activities (Green 1979). Forty-seven permanent transect were established at randomly selected sites of similar habitat in removal areas and adjacent control sites. The study area for each of three study sites lie on Porites compressa dominated habitat types with similar habitat complexity. At these sites, visual fish transects were conducted following West Hawaii Aquarium Project (WHAP) survey protocols for 5 m x 25 m fish transects (Tissot et al. 2004), whereby two scuba divers swim in tandem along 25-m fixed replicate transect at a constant speed (15 minutes per transect). All fishes observed within the transect were identified to the lowest possible taxon and placed in size bins (0.0-4.9 cm TL, 5.0-9.9 cm TL, 10.0-14.9 cm TL, etc.). Divers were previously trained in visual underwater size estimation techniques based on practice with various lengths of fish models that were later collected and measured. Two rounds of data were collected from the suite of removal and control sites during November 2010 and March/April 2011, before any roi removal was implemented in order to establish baseline conditions at these sites (data within NODC accession 0082197). Surveys were conducted again one month after roi were removed from the experimental sites during June and November 2011 and then again in June 2012, six-months and one-year after roi removal. This quarterly monitoring schedule was implemented for the first year, and surveys will be conducted bi-annually for the duration of the project, which is expected to continue through 2015. The power for this design was 0.877 for a one-way ANOVA for the prey taxa abundance following roi removal after six-month. Power was calculated in Minitab16 using the maximum difference between means, standard deviation, and sample size (each replicate transect) to calculate the power of the data set. With additional post-removal surveys in the coming years, temporal changes on the individual transects will become the replication of this repeated measures BACI design. 4) Roi Distribution Monitoring In order to assess roi population distributions throughout the wider region, a fish census focusing solely on roi was conducted bi-annually in removal and control areas. This census was conducted using tow-boards following NOAA Coral Reef Ecosystem Division (CRED) protocols, and followed isobaths from 10 m-30 m, covering a total area of 0.4 km2. These census rounds took place in April, June, and November 2011 and in June 2012. Two divers were deployed along a 50-m tow line, each with a planning board; one diver had a telegraph system to communicate with the boat. Divers were towed at a constant speed along a set bearing. Maintaining depth 3 m from the benthos, divers recorded each roi sighting of within 5 m either side of the straight line trajectory. Communication was maintained between diver pairs both above water and during the survey, to ensure that roi were not double counted. Each roi sighting was recorded along with the roi body-size and time of sighting. The roi sight time was later matched to the boat GPS log of time at geographic location. The offset from the boat GPS location to diver location along the tow line was calculated by the formula a2+b2=c2, where a=depth, c=tow-line length, and b=distance from the boat GPS location.
