I grew up out here in Puna and have explored many little ponds in the the woods. So the statement of :
"There are no streams or rivers or creeks, in Puna. Zero." -isn't entirely accurate. During time of extended or heavy rain, those little ponds did turn into streams. Sometimes for a week or more if the rain kept up. Also the crawfish that lived in them may not be endemic but they certainly weren't spreading fast and are definitely not aggressive type invasive species that threatened much. I imagine you could farm them if you got enough together and fed them yourselves but good luck in gathering mass quantity anywhere in puna. Also if you go out to Hamakua where there are streams that run perpetually I have seen many prawns and very few crawfish.
