ʻO ka mussels he mollusks me kahi pūpū paʻakikī i loaʻa i ʻelua pahu. Noho lākou ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa, mai ka Arctic a i ka Antarctic, a aia mau i ka wai. Noho ka hapa nui i ke kai, a hiki i ka 11,000 mika. Akā, aia nō nā ʻū i loko o ka wai paʻakai a me ka wai maʻemaʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi ma nā loko a me nā muliwai.
Aia ma kahi o 10,000 mau ʻano ʻokoʻa ʻokoʻa o nā ʻili kai. ʻElua a ʻoi aku ka nui o nā ʻano i pau. Mai lākou mai, he mau mōʻalihaku wale nō.
He aha ke ʻano o nā kino pāpaʻi?
Aia ka ipu ma waho. He ʻelua ʻāpana. Hoʻopili ʻia lākou e kahi ʻano hinge. I ka mussel, kapa ʻia kēia hinge ʻo ka "loka". He paʻakikī nā pūpū a he nui ka lime a me nā minerale ʻē aʻe. Ua uhi ʻia ko loko me ka makuahine o ka momi.
Hoʻopili ka ʻaʻahu i ke poʻo a me ka ʻōpū. Aneane pani ʻia kekahi mau ʻū a ʻekolu wale nō puka: kahe ka wai me ka meaʻai a me ka oxygen ma kekahi puka, a kahe nā mea ʻōpala me ka wai ma kekahi. ʻO ke kolu o ka puka no ka wāwae.
Ua hoʻi hou ke poʻo i ka wā o ka evolution. Aneane nalo loa ke alelo ohe. Aia ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka waha he mau mea hoʻomaʻamaʻa me nā maka maka, e hoʻokuke ana i nā ʻāpana meaʻai liʻiliʻi i ka puka o ka waha.
I nā ʻano ʻano mussel, ua emi nui ka wāwae. No ka hana ʻana i kēia, hoʻopuka ʻo ia i kahi ʻano glue i loko o nā mussels ʻōpio, e like me ka slime i loko o nā snails. Me kēia kāpili, hiki i ka mussel ke hoʻopili iā ia iho i lalo a i ʻole kekahi mussel a hiki ke wehe hou.
Pehea e hanai ai ka mussel?
Hoʻomoʻu ka mussel i ka wai. E kānana lākou i kēia ma nā gills e like me ka iʻa. I ka hana ʻana pēlā, ʻaʻole lākou e lawe wale i ka oxygen mai ka wai, akā pū kekahi plankton. ʻO kā lākou ʻai kēia. Hoʻohana lākou i nā mea manaʻo e pana i ka plankton i loko o ko lākou waha.
No laila ka hapa nui o nā ʻiʻo e komo i ka wai a hoʻokuʻu hou. Eia nō naʻe, ʻo ia hoʻi ke komo ʻana o ka nui o nā mea make mai ka wai i loko o ko lākou kino. ʻAʻole pilikia wale kēia no ka ʻiʻo ponoʻī, akā no ka poʻe e ʻai ana i ka ʻū.
He mau pūpū kai kekahi. ʻEli lākou i ka lāʻau a ʻai. Hiki iā lākou ke luku i nā moku holoʻokoʻa a no laila ua makaʻu nui ʻia e nā kānaka.
He kakaikahi loa na ano mussel he poe hahai holoholona. Aia ma hope o nā pāpaʻi liʻiliʻi. ʻOmo lākou iā ia me ke kahawai wai a ʻeli iho.
Pehea ke ola a me ka hānau ʻana o nā ʻōpala?
He kāne a he wahine ka hapa nui o nā ʻano mussel. ʻAʻole lākou e launa pū kekahi i kekahi no ka hana hou ʻana. Hoʻokuʻu nā kāne i kā lākou mau sperm cell i loko o ka wai, a ʻo nā wahine i kā lākou mau hua. Hiki kēia no ka mea e noho pili mau ana nā ʻū.
Loaʻa nā pūnaewele hua manu a me nā pūnana hua manu. Ma hope o ka hoʻoulu ʻana, ulu mai nā larvae mai ia mea. He ʻano ola kēia ma waena o ka hua i hoʻomomona ʻia a me ka pūpū ʻākau.
Hiki i nā ʻōpiʻi ʻōpiopio ke neʻe i nā ʻano like ʻole. ʻO ka hapa nui o nā pūpū e hāmama a paʻa. Hiki ke hoʻohālikelike ʻia kēia me ka pāpaʻi ʻana o nā ʻēheu manu. ʻO kekahi poʻe e kīkoʻo i ko lākou mau wāwae, hoʻopili iā lākou i ka lepo a huki i ko lākou kino. A laila hoʻokuʻu lākou i ka mea hoʻopili a kikoo hou i ka wāwae. ʻO ke kolu o nā ʻano mea ʻōmo i ka wai a hoʻokuke koke iā ia. ʻO kēia ka hopena i kahi neʻe e like me ka loina rocket.
I ka pau ʻana o ka wā ʻōpio, ʻimi nā ʻū i kahi kūpono e hoʻopili ai iā lākou iho. Hoʻohana lākou i ko lākou ola makua ma laila. ʻOi aku ka nui o nā ʻiʻo a me nā ʻoysters i nā kolone. Akā hana nā ʻano ʻē aʻe i kēlā. Ma ke kaʻina hana, pili kekahi pūpū iā ia iho i kekahi.
He aha ka makuahine o ka momi?
ʻO ka loko o nā pūpū puʻupuʻu he nui i nā kala like ʻole. Ua kapa ʻia kēia papa ʻo ka makuahine o ka momi. Ua kapa ʻia ka mea ʻo ka makuahine o ka momi. ʻO ke ʻano maoli kēia ʻo kēia mea ka makuahine o nā momi.
Ua manaʻo nui ʻia ka makuahine o ka momi. Ua puni ka makuahine o ka momi mai ka wā Pōhaku. Ma mua o ko Columbus hiki ʻana i ʻAmelika, ua like ka manaʻo o nā pūpū me kā mākou mau kālā. No laila ʻo lākou ke kālā maoli o ka ʻāina.
Hiki ke loaʻa nā mea hoʻonani makuahine o ka momi ma ka honua holoʻokoʻa. I ka wā ma mua, ua hana ʻia nā pihi makuahine o ka momi a hoʻohana ʻia i nā pālule a me nā pālule. Aia nō nā mea hoʻokomo momi ma nā mea kani makamae, no ka laʻana ma ka ʻāʻī o nā kīkā, i hiki ai i ka mea hoʻokani pila ke ʻimi i kona ala a puni.
Pehea e hana ʻia ai nā momi?
He poepoe poepoe ka momi a i ole ia, i hanaia me ka mea like loa me ka momi makuahine. Ua manaʻo ʻia ua hoʻohana ka mussel i ke one i komo i loko o laila, ʻaʻole ia e pōʻino.
I kēia mau lā, manaʻo ka poʻe ʻepekema hiki ke neʻe aku nā parasites i loko o ka mussel. He mau mea liʻiliʻi kēia e makemake ana e ʻai i ka mussel mai loko mai. Ke pale aku nei ka mussel iā ia iho ma ke kāʻei ʻana i kēia mau palaʻai i nā mea momi. Penei ka hana ʻana i nā momi.
Pehea e hoʻohana ai nā kānaka i ka ʻili?
ʻO ke ala maʻalahi ka ʻohi ʻana i nā pūpū i loko o ka wai hohonu. I ke kai haʻahaʻa, moe pinepine lākou ma ka ʻili. A i ʻole, pono ʻoe e luʻu no lākou.
ʻAi ʻia ka nui o ka ʻiʻo. Ua like ka meaʻai me ka iʻa. Hoʻohana ka poʻe a puni ka honua i kēia kumu meaʻai ma ke kai. Eia nō naʻe, hoʻopau koke ʻia nā wahi no ka ulu mālie ʻana o nā ʻū.
Maikaʻi kekahi ʻano ʻano ʻiʻo no ka mahiʻai ʻana, ʻo ia hoʻi ka ʻiʻo, ka ʻo, a me ka pāpaʻi. Noho pili pū kēia mau ʻū i ke ʻano a lilo i moena mussel. Hāpai ka poʻe i ia mau ʻū i loko o nā pā kūpono a i ʻole ma nā trellises. Ma hope o ka ʻohi ʻana, hele lākou i ka mākeke.
ʻO ka mea kūʻai aku i ka momi i kēia lā, loaʻa iā ia kahi momi moʻomeheu. ʻO kekahi mau ʻano mussel wale nō ke kūpono no kēia. Pono ʻoe e wehe i kahi pūpū a unuhi i kahi ʻāpana o ka ʻaʻahu mai ia mea. A laila kanu ʻia nā ʻāpana liʻiliʻi i loko o nā mussel ʻē aʻe. He momi a puni ia. Ma muli o ke ʻano o ka mussel, pono kēia i kekahi mau mahina a hiki i kekahi mau makahiki.
Hiki iā ʻoe ke lohe i ke kai e holo ana ma nā pūpū?
Inā hoʻopaʻa ʻoe i ka pūpū puʻupuʻu ʻole ma kou pepeiao, e lohe ʻoe i ka leo ʻūhā. Hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻopaʻa i kēia walaʻau me kahi microphone. No laila, ʻaʻole ia he noʻonoʻo, akā ʻaʻole ia ke kani o ke kai.
Aia i loko o ka pūpū conch hakahaka ka ea e like me ka pū a me ke kīkā. Ma muli o ke ʻano, he vibration kēia ea i kūpono loa iā ia. Lohe mākou i kēia haʻalulu ma ke ʻano he kani.
ʻOhi ka pūpū mussel i nā leo a pau mai waho mai. Hoʻopaʻa a hoʻopaʻa i ka haʻalulu i kūpono i kona ʻano i loko. Lohe mākou i kēlā walaʻau ke paʻa mākou i ka pūpū conch i ko mākou mau pepeiao. Aneane like ka leo o ko makou lohe ana i ka leo kaawale o kahi snail, a maopopo loa aku paha. Akā ʻoiai me kahi kīʻaha a i ʻole ke kīʻaha ma ka pepeiao, aia kekahi leo like.
