We are seeking the most recent DAR data on yellow tang densities (#/100 sq. meters) in the WHRFMA, totaled for the Open areas, FRAs, and MPAs and excluding the YOY. Please also include description whether the data is for FY 2019 or CY 2018. Mahalo, Rene Umberger For the Fishes

Hi Rene, In this one, there’s no error. There were 4 FMA sites and 2 MLCD sites. FMA 4 36.77 MLCD 2 39.44 You might have used this formula: (36.77 + 39.44)/2 = 38.105 The correct formula according to DAR is: [(4 x 36.77) + (2 x 39.44)]/6 = 37.66 Let me know if this works. Thanks.

I think there's an error: Shouldn't the MPAs, which are a combo of the FMAs and MLCDs, be 38.11, according to the data provided? Also, when might the CY 2019 data be available? Aloha, Rene ... Sincerely yours Rene Umberger
