This is the second of a four-part report on Stream Channel Modification (Channelization) in Hawaii and Its Environmental Effects on Native Fauna". This part deals with the effects of channelization on We distribution and abundance of fauna in Oahu streams. It is published by the National Stream Alteration Team to provide the much-needed baselines for evaluating future stream alteration proposals as well as ecological information applicable to the protection and preservation of native Hawaiian stream fauna. This report covers measurement of some environmental factors and evaluation of aquatic community structure on selected altered and unaltered streams. The objective is to provide concise information on the nature and magnitude of channel alteration effects on stream species and communities. An earlier report (Part A: FWS/OBS-78/16 March 1978) is an inventory of Hawaiian perennial streams and stream macrofauna. Forthcoming is Part C (FWS/OBS-78/18) dealing with tolerance of native stream macrofauna to environmental stress. Part D (FWS/OBS-78/19) summarizes the series.
