Table 3. Summary of expertise group affiliation with social-ecological guilds. All scientific, common, and Hawaiian names of marine organisms
are given in Table 5.

|
| Social-Ecological Guilds |
Expertise groups that discuss each social-ecological guild |
|
| Subsistence |
Only Native Hawaiian experts provide historic observations from
1920 to 1970, and from 1970 to 2006 a diverse admixture of experts discussed
subsistence organisms. Native Hawaiian people spend proportionally
more time discussing subsistence than any other expertise group,
and also proportionally less time talking about other guilds. |
|
|
| Ornamental (general) |
Topics of importance to all expertise groups, but feature more
prominently in dive shop
operators, conservationists, and scientists interviews. |
|
|
| Ornamental (butterflyfish) |
Native Hawaiian experts tend not to focus on butterflyfish at
all, while conservationists
focus almost exclusively on butterflyfishes. Minor role in interviews
of scientists and
aquarium collectors. |
|
|
| Ornamental (rare species) |
Topics of importance among dive shop operators, conservationists,
aquarium collectors,and scientists interviews, whereas rarely mentioned
by Native Hawaiian experts. |
|
|
| Native Piscivores |
Observations principally stem from Native Hawaiian people and
dive shop operators,
whereas scientists defer to local experts because "sightings of jacks
[in scientific data
collection processes] are rare" (5.18.06). |
|
|
| Shark/Eel |
Both eels and reef sharks are discussed by dive shop operators
and Native Hawaiian
people, principally. |
|
|
| Invasive Piscivores |
All expertise groups talk about invasive piscivores with relatively
equal frequency |
