Excerpt from Occasional Papers of the Bernice Pauahi Bishop Museum of Polynesian Ethnology and Natural History, Vol. 7: No; 10; With Plates XVII-XIX; Fish Poisoning in the Hawaiian Islands, With Notes on the Custom in Southern Polynesia One of the many methods of fishing practiced by Hawaiians was the halo, a term which signifies: (l) the material as pre pared for fishing, (2) the particular system of fishing, (3) to take fish by poison. As the food of the Hawaiians consisted largely of fish, they, like other Polynesians, were expert fishermen. Not only were their fishing implements well developed, but their working knowledge of the habits of the local fishes was remarkably good. It may seem surprising, therefore, that a people so largely depend ent on fish food should resort to a method which with the mature fish destroyed also the immature.
