About the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council

The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council was established by Congress in 1976 to manage fisheries in the offshore waters surrounding Guam, the Commonwealth of the Northern Mariana Islands, American Samoa, Hawai‘i and the U.S. Pacific remote island areas. The fisheries in federal waters surrounding American Samoa are managed under the American Samoa Archipelago and Pacific Pelagic Fishery Ecosystem Plans. Traditional knowledge and wide community involvement are integral parts of the ecosystem-based approach to fishery management. The 2006 reauthorized Magnuson-Stevens Fishery Conservation and Management Act requires that federally managed fisheries are regulated through annual catch limits (ACLs).

Anae gutu-mumu (Red-lipped mullet) is an indicator species for the health of the lagoon fishery. It was common in October-December during its spawning migration period but now has become relatively rare in American Samoa. Pictured is the same species taken on Guam. Photo by John Calvo.

About This CalendarThe Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council (WPRFMC) has produced traditional lunar calendars for American Samoa since 2007. The initial productions were based on information from books written about Samoa by scholars such as Brother Henry, Kramer, Turner and Stair, as well as information collected by Talking Chief Teleiai Ausage. A more elaborate interview with Rev. Elder Oka Fauolo helped complete all the names of the moon phases, as well as the names of the months. When the 2009 Amerika Samoa Lunar Calendar was distributed, the community gave much positive feedback and also asked for definitions of Samoan terms used in the calendar. To improve on the lunar calendar, the WPRFMC convened a workshop on the island of Tutuila, American Samoa, in partnership with the Samoan Studies Institute (SSI) of the American Samoa Community College, American Samoa’s Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources (DMWR) and the Office of Samoan Affairs. The workshop involved participants from other American Samoa organizations, fishermen, elders and members of the general public as well as the Apia Fisheries Division in the Independent State of Samoa.

This 2013 Amerika Samoa Lunar Calendar takes into account recommendations from the workshop as well as research conducted by Okenaisa Fauolo, Teleiai Ausage and Apisaloma Toleafoa of the SSI in 2010 with villagers throughout Tutuila as well as with the South Pacific Regional Environment Programme, Samoa’s Fishery Division and Meteorological Office, and tautai (experts of the seas), including High Chief Mulipola Perenise of Manono Tai and High Talking Chief Levaa Sauaso of Apolima Tai, and High Chief Faasavalu, on the islands of Upolu and Manono in Samoa. The 2013 calendar also includes the annual catch limits for federally managed fisheries in American Samoa. The Council will continue to work with the American Samoa community to improve and enhance in future calendars.

The explanations of each lunar month in the calendar were provided by the SSI. Information on the local fish for each month was provided by Selaina Vaitautolu of the American Samoa DMWR and Fini Aitaoto, the WPRFMC on-site coordinator in American Samoa. The tide charts, moon phases, and moon rise and set times are for Pago Pago (Samoa standard time) provided by Barry Smith, University of Guam (retired). The project was coordinated by Fini Aitaoto and Sylvia Spalding, WPRFMC communications officer. Traditional fishing hooks on display at American Samoa Department of Marine and Wildlife

Resources office.

The illustrations in the calendar are the winning entries of the student art contest held in American Samoa on the theme of “Climate Change Impacts on the Traditional Places that Sustain Our Cultural and Food Security.” This theme encouraged class lessons and discussion on how climate change has or may impact the traditional places and practices that promote sustainable use of natural resources to ensure the island’s food security and the well-being of the indigenous culture. It was chosen in preparation of the 2013 First Stewards Symposium “United Indigenous Voices Address Sustainability: Climate Change and Traditional Places” to be held at the National Museum of the American Indian in Washington, DC (www.firststewards.org). The first-place Grades 6–8 poster will be displayed at the event.

A special thanks to those who judged the art contest: Soloi McMullin and Leifiloa C. Tanoi of the American Samoa Coral Reef Advisory Group and Lusila Minoneti, Sa‘opapa Taifane and Maria Vaofanua of the American Samoa Department of Marine and Wildlife Resources.

Filoa (Emperor �sh)E tele ituaiga o lenei i‘a e maua i le tu‘tu‘u.Several species are caught by bottom�sh gear and very common in bottom�sh landings.

One must be aware of the tides, ocean currents and wind patterns anytime one goes �shing. The typical easterly is �ne for �shing as long as it is not too strong to create high swells. It is unlike the Tuaoloa, which is a strong cold wind that creates high swells when it blows consistently. The Fiaga is okay, despite blowing, because the ocean is usually calm.

Some names have di�erent meanings in di�erent regions. Winds such as Vaitoelau, Mataupolu, Tuaoloa and Lai are understood by all. However, Pitonuu and Vainuu have localized meanings. People living in one region have their Pitonuu wind, which is di�erent from those living in another region.

O le masina e nunu ai le toau o u�. O le tuaoi o timuga ma mugala. Month the cultivated yams are matured. Intermediary month between rainy and sunny season.

Aununu refers to when new soil and natural fertilizers are piled at the root of the cultivated yam. Accordingly, aununu of the yam should never be done in the morning because dewdrops are still on the leaves. Aununu is done in the evening.

In catching a large �sh, it is best to tie a noose tightly on its tail and have it on the iato (outrigger) side of the canoe. Then, let it struggle until it is tired and you can either lift it onto your canoe or pull it ashore.

Mulifa refers to the cultivated yam that is late in harvesting. When cooked, the yam has a watery, dull taste.

Yam is sturdier than the other staple food. Taros tend to die o� in long dry spells, and bananas and breadfruits are destroyed in cyclones.

Taimi e tele ai mea taumafa, aemaise le maua o le ia o le palolo. Initial period of the season of food abundance, especially with the palolo �sh.

Malau (Squirrel�sh)E masani ona tele ma fa‘atau i tafaala i lenei vaitau.Many usually caught during this period, and “strings of malau” are sold at roadsides.

After the palolo �sh, the seasonal �sh pinelo (juvenile rabbit�sh) is common.

Momoga tuitui. Sea urchins are meaty and �eshy.

Faamaui is a �shing expedition that is carried out at night when there is full moon. The preparation of the net is done in the evening, and it is usually for the malau �sh. The saying “si au lua lau ma si au le sau, si au afatala ma si au faiaga” stems from this expedition because, when the catch was taken ashore, some people would take some �sh for themselves before the whole catch was given to the village.

Atu (Skipjack)O le i‘a e maua so‘o i le toso a‘o fa‘aaogaina paopao i aso anamua, e fa‘aaoga tele i le oka Samoa. The most common �sh in trolling landings using “paopao” in the past and the preferred �sh for oka.

Another seasonal �sh is igaga (small apofu or sleeper gobies).

Faamoa is a �shing expedition for the village men. At the early morning when all have gathered at a maota, the blinds would be raised, with the exception of two blinds in the front of the house that will remain shut. The elders would then provide words of caution for the tautai and their helpers, “Be careful and make sure there are no holes at the oa or the taloa” (aua nei mama i oa pe mama i taloa). Taloa is a three-foot stick shaped like an axe. The oa is the bottom of the net. This type of �shing is for the �sh called tuuu (angel�shes and damsel�shes). It is said that the elders knew that there were holes in either taloa or oa when one of the closed blind breaks.

Matalilii is a �shing expedition that is di�erent from Faamoa in that it is done throughout the whole day. It was also carried out on the reefs using what is called lauloa, which is created from coconut leaves that are braided together. Each canoe contained these braided coconut leaves. The people then splashed and hit the ocean so the �sh would come to where the canoes were. Then the lauloa were emptied into the canoe. This action was done repeatedly.

I‘asina (young goat�sh)Masani ona tele i le vaitau o Oketopa–Aperila.Commonly caught during October–April.
