This is the third of a four-part series on Stream Channel Modification (Channelization) in Hawaii and Its Effects on Native Fauna. Part A (FWS/OBS-78/16, Timbol and Maciolek 1968) contains a statewide inventory of perennial streams, channel alterations and aquatic macrofauna. Part B (FWS/OBS-78/17,Norton et al. 1968) contains an intensive year-round study of macrofaunal communities in selected streams and contrasts channelized and natural channels.Part D (FWS/OBS-78/19, Parrish et al. 1978) will contain a general summary of project results. The present report contains a detailed description of environmental conditions in streams that are relevant to the welfare of native species and indicates how channelization affects these parameters. It also reports results of tolerance of native and some exotic species to relevant levels of these parameters. Conclusions regarding the results of channelization for the biota are presented. Data and analysis from January 1977 through October 1978 are included in this report.
