Although 29 species are exploited in Easter Island, the main species targeted were Pacific chub (Kyphosus sandwicensis) and yellowfin tuna (Thunnus albacares), with spiny lobster (Panulirus pascuensis) as the most exploited invertebrate species (Castilla et al., 2014).

Therefore, concern should be focused on the exploitation of fisheries resources for bait and human consumption, such as nanue (Kyphosus sandwicensis) generally intended for subsistence consumption and recreational activity (AMBAR, 2001; Yanez et al., 2007).

The top ten species caught in the inshore fishery, not including seasonal juveniles, are Naso unicornis, Caranx melampygus, Siganus spinus, Mulloides flavolineatus, Lethrinus harak, Valamugil engeli, Kyphosus cinerascens, K.
