Aloha,
Our folks out at the Marine Mammal Research Program started noting an unusual number of dead Stripebelly puffers (Arothron hispidus) recently.
Dr. Thierry M. Work a Wildlife Disease Specialist at the National Wildlife Health Center has been looking at fresh specimens to see if a link can be found.
We are interested in the range of the possible die offs. Right now, I know that we have seen dead puffers from K-Bay to Kailua Bay. If you have additional observations, please comment below.
Mahalo,
Mark
