This is the Flag tail fish, also known as the Aholehole. This was considered as one of the "sea pigs" used as a substitute for pig for certain ceremonies, or for any ceremonies where pigs were not available.

This is Seaweed, also known as limu. This was the only thing that the women could touch and eat.
This fish is the threadfish, also known as the Moi. Hawaiians beleived that this fish ate lehua blossoms, which are a deep red, and derived color from the flowers.
This is the Jack Fish, also known as the Papio. In old Hawaiian days, the women were not allowed to eat this type of fish.
This is the food web of the Loko Kuapa. First of all, you have your limu which is your primary producer, getting its energy from the sun, then you have the 'Ama'ama and the O'pae as your primary consumers, Second to last you have your Aholehole as your Secondary consumer and last, you have the Kaku as your teritiary.

Excellent job Kui! You have great information about your fish pond, the fish species etc. Nice work on your food web! I like the video. It would be cool if you could do some voice-over so that we know what the students are doing during the fish pond wall construction. Great job! Ms. V
