Hawai’i Game Management Advisory Commission Meeting <br />Minutes – July 30, 2019 <br />TN: What species of fish were depleted that you didn’t see there before in <br />abundance? I mean, I didn’t see a report that shows there were certain <br />species of fish that were in decline... I mean, so what species of fish that is <br />having a slow recovery? Because that’s a feeding area – a nursing ground – <br />it’s a ground of abundance – so what species are in slow recovery and if it’s... <br /> <br /> ....in slow recovery why is it in slow recovery when it’s a feeding ground, it’s a <br />nursing ground, it’s a replenishment area. I mean it’s designated a <br />replenishment area so when fish spawn – they don’t just spawn one or two – <br />they spawn in the thousands, right? <br /> <br />TN: So what fish is slow in recovery? <br /> <br />JK: That I don’t know... <br /> <br />TN: Could you find out? <br /> <br />JK: I can find out. <br /> <br />TN: Because what is being said, what is being found and if the conservation – my <br />fear – this is just a fear cause of the unknown – and what is being said – slow <br />in recovery is saying what, you know what I mean? <br /> <br />JK: Well, I was referring to the coral. <br /> <br />TN: To the coral? <br /> <br />JK: Yeah. <br /> <br />TN: Not the species... <br /> <br />JK: At first you cannot see anything significant, you know, but – nothing pops out <br />but you – you see signs of the fish schools where, you know, it’s gonna take a <br />while – we got to over time see how it moves. <br /> <br />TN: So have you seen it yourself? Have you walked the area and seen the fish <br />schools or is it this – their Nature Conservancy studies that they see the fish <br />schools? <br /> <br />JK: No, it’s just the workers, yeah, um, because it’s our area – we walk down <br />there... <br /> <br />TN: Yes. <br /> <br />JK: And you see the fish schools. <br /> <br />7 <br /> <br /> <br />
