..and just look how well the anadromous species are doing in that 
region.  Maybe the folks in Hawaii should start from scratch, and 
"build a better mousetrap".

Thanks to Steve G. and Steve P. for the suggestion and the discussion. There
are major differences between the biology and migratory patterns of  the   
indigenous Hawaiian fish and the anadromous salmonids of the Pacific Northwest.
The streams are very different too. Because no work of this kind has ever been
done, no matter what we do it will be a "better moustrap".

Can anybody else provide references and/or comments?

Thanks and aloha,

You need more than fishways.  You need a good management shceme and
cooperation from all groups affecting the resource.

I would contact Chris Katopodis for information on existing fishway
designs.
