I am happy to share our recent publication characterizing larval dispersal patterns of manini, Acanthurus triostegus, around Oʻahu. We found that most dispersal originated on southern and eastern shores with the majority of settlement occurring in East Oʻahu. Kāneʻohe Bay was found to act as a sink for many parts of the island and self-recruitment was observed in four regions around the island with the shortest distance between the collection of the parent and offspring being 0.25 km (observed in south Kāneʻohe Bay). Very little recruitment was observed on the western and northern side. Overall, these findings support traditional native Hawaiian resource management systems (e.g., moku, ahupuaʻa) on eastern and southern shores.
