Aquarium fishing is reported to the State of Hawaiʻi Division of Aquatic Resources (DAR) separately from food fish, under a different licensing scheme and reporting system. Catch of aquarium species for the years 2003 - 2015 was mapped as the average annual number of individuals taken by reporting block (which differ slightly from commercial reporting blocks above). Seaward extent of reporting blocks was limited to 60 m depth and units were calculated to the number of individuals taken per hectare. No data was available to account for non-commercial take of aquarium species.
