Nonindigenous Marine Species Introductions in the harbors of the South and West Shores of Oahu, Hawaii 1997-1998 (NODC Accession 0000324)

Despite the potential importance of Honolulu Harbor or other commercial harbors on Oahu as potential gateways for nonindigenous marine species to enter the Hawaiian marine ecosystem, no studies have previously been conducted of introduced species in Hawaiian commercial harbors, and little information is available for the composition of the marine communities for these harbors. Therefore, we conducted surveys in Honolulu Harbor and Keehi Lagoon in 1997, and in Kewalo Basin, the Ala Wai Yacht Harbor and the Barbers Point Deep Draft Harbor in 1998. The results of this study are reported herein and the presence and impact of nonindigenous marine introductions in these harbors are evaluated. This report includes an extensive bibliography of related work in these harbors, historical maps, a chronology of important events in these harbors, and the field data.尽管火奴鲁鲁港（Honolulu Harbor）及瓦胡岛（Oahu）上的其他商业港作为非本土海洋物种（nonindigenous marine species）进入夏威夷海洋生态系统的潜在门户具有重要意义，但此前尚无针对夏威夷商业港内引入物种（introduced species）的相关研究，且此类港口的海洋群落（marine communities）组成信息也极为匮乏。为此，我们于1997年对火奴鲁鲁港与基希泻湖（Keehi Lagoon）开展调查，并于1998年对基瓦洛盆地（Kewalo Basin）、阿拉怀游艇港（Ala Wai Yacht Harbor）及巴伯斯角深水港（Barbers Point Deep Draft Harbor）进行了采样调研。本文报告了本研究的成果，并对上述港口中非本土海洋引入物种的存在情况及其影响展开评估。本报告收录了上述港口相关研究的详尽参考文献、历史海图、港口重要事件年表以及实地调研数据。
