The Opae ula shrimp Forum and online store

On page 70, it talks about the genetic Opae Ula population found in Kapapa Island on O'ahu is genetically identical to the West Hawaii lineage in the Big Island. Somehow this Opae Ula population made it's way 200 miles away.

Any hypothesis? I think early Hawaiian's brought it over as food and traveled from Oahu to the Big Island to try to have a population there to grow as food.

Possibly! On the other hand there is another shrimp (what was it again) which is found across the ocean somewhere.

The earth is hollow. Everyone knows that!

Ha, Lohena were discovered in Easter Island. Some 4500 miles away!!

Oh yeah your right.

Well there are so many options. A vast cave network. Birds carrying larvae around in their feathers? They somehow made it!

Lohena larvae leaves the pool to the oceans to survive so maybe the ocean currents guided them there...

It's a possibility!
