Missing FADS: Maui - CC, DD. Hawaii - XX. Oahu - R, J, BO, P, HH. Kauai - BB, DK, PP, WK. Discontinued: Maui - LA; Hawaii - QQ. The State of Hawaii has placed Fish Aggregating Devices (FADs) in the
waters surrounding the main Hawaiian Islands. These buoys attract schools of
tuna and other important pelagic fishes, such as dolphinfish (Mahimahi),
wahoo (Ono), and billfish. FADs allow fishermen to easily locate and catch
these species. This site was initially created by Sea Grant College at the
University of Hawaii. It is currently maintained by the Cooperative
Administration of FADs Program located at the Hawaii Institute of Marine Biology.
