It was not observed at any other locations during our surveys other than Midway. This species should be given high priority for protection owing to its restricted range, curious nature, and status as an endemic species. These species are heavily exploited for subsistence and recreational use in the main islands and their reduced number and size is likely the result of overfishing. Once again, this highlights the need for protection, as these species are very vulnerable to exploitation. All rights reserved.
