Ng (1998) described a new species of deepwater porter crab, Lamoha histrix (Homolidae)
from Abariringa (Kanton, Canton). The specimen was caught in a trap baited with mullet set
for 24 hours in 305 to 366 m of water.
During 2000 surveys, only 1 lobster was observed (Stone et al 2001).
In 2002, surveys of selected invertebrate diversity and abundance were conducted in the
Phoenix Islands (Obura and Stone 2003). Abariringa, Birnie, Enderbury, Manra,
Nikumaroro, Orona, and Rawaki were surveyed. Small shrimp and crabs were numerous.
