Huilua Fishpond, Ancient fish pond in Kahana Bay, Honolulu County, United States.
The Huilua Fishpond extends across 7 acres of Kahana Bay with a 500-foot rock seawall connected to the shoreline at two points.
Built between 1200 and 1600, Huilua Fishpond represents one of only six remaining fishponds from the original 97 that existed on Oahu's coastline.
The fishpond required a dedicated keeper who managed maintenance, fish stocking, and harvesting while working with local residents who received fish in return.
Two sluice gates in the seawall regulate water flow between saltwater and freshwater, creating specific conditions for raising mullet and fingerling fish.
Hawaiian stone shrines called ko'a were placed near the pond, where offerings were made to ensure fish abundance and reproduction.
