#TITLE: 
Data related to Feeding biology of the introduced fish roi (Cephalopholis argus), 
and its impact on Hawaiian reef fishes and fisheries between January 2004 and
January 2005

#ABSTRACT: 
Roi were collected from 27 sites on Oahu and the Kona coast of the Island
of Hawaii to study various aspects of their physiology.  Data include
laboratory examinations on specimens speared in the field and raised
in tanks.

#PURPOSE:  
Understand impact of roi on Hawaiian reef fishes and fisheries

Hawaii Coral Reef Initiative

#BEGIN AND END DATES: 
20030711 - 20040726

#SAMPLING PERIODS:
See: ../../data/Access/Sample_sites_table.(xls or csv)

#PARAMETERS: 
length of fish
weight of fish
sex of fish
digestion parameters
feeding parameters
ciguatera analysis

#METHODOLOGY:
Field studies were conducted on Oahu and the Big Island by divers. 
Fish specimen were caught for laboratory analysis.  Fish were 
measured and weighed using basic measuring tape and weight scales.
MIA tests run to check for Ciguatera.

Three tests were run per fish, one with tissue from the head of
the fish, one from the belly, and one from the tail.

Fish in tanks were utilized to examine feeding, digestion, and
decompisition.
