Kauaʻi's origins are volcanic, the island having been formed by the passage of the Pacific Plate over the Hawaii hotspot. At approximately five million years old, it is the oldest of the main islands. [17] It consists of a large eroded shield volcano with a 9.3–12.4mi (15.0–20.0km) diameter summit caldera and two flank calderas. Rejuvenation of the volcano 1.40–0.6 million years ago resulted in the eruption of lavas and cones over the eastern two-thirds of the island. [18] According to Lance D. Chase, who was a BYU-H professor and did research on the subject, the story goes like this. “A Japanese pilot returning from Pearl Harbor with a bomb still undelivered spotted the Hawaii Temple. Determined to destroy the building, a target of opportunity, before it became necessary to jettison his bomb harmlessly into the nearby sea, he dived on the temple. His bomb would not release. a b c d e Bray, D.J. (2018). " Arripis trutta". Fishes of Australia. Museums Victoria . Retrieved 21 April 2020.

Read our related coverage: Zane Clark acted as the anchor at this hukilau. He helped organize hukilaus 50 years ago, “and it’s pretty much the same,” he said, laughing. “We’d come down every Friday—it was a church assignment. We had to gather 80 to 100 coconuts and make the haupia. I learned to husk them, but I was never as good as the Polynesians.”

All that said, there’s this wonderful collection in draft form. And it included a number of koans derived from the Western traditions. In his draft document Eido Roshi mixed these in with what in many traditions are called “Miscellaneous Koans.” These are in-house collections used in specific lineages and follow the breakthrough koan, in our Japanese derived traditions flowing from the great Eighteenth century Hakuin Ekaku, that breakthrough koan is almost always Mu. They’re usually short and give us the sense of how to engage koans, the language of koans if you will. Or, as I suggested in my study of koans, the grammar, or language of dragons.

The hukilau began as three men pushed a small wooden boat filled with net into the ocean. Kahawaii rowed the boat in a large curve until he reached the shore far down the beach, creating a semicircle where the fish were trapped by the lead-weighted net. Another man acted as an anchor, holding the end of the long net as it unfolded. Toward the end of our reporting period, we stopped recording the court date because we were not following the cases through the courts on a systematic basis. Early arrests in the year were more likely to have a legal outcome than arrests closer to the one-year mark. NAME

Ken Baldridge and Lance Chase both wrote papers on the incident, examining ideas like the military probability of this happening. More recently Alf Pratte gave a paper at the Mormon Pacific Historical Society in 2005 about the incident. Pratte added some critical information. After visiting this touching memorial and seeing the heartbreaking pictures and pleas from the Japanese citizens for “No Moer (More) Hiroshima,” we had a chance to visit with President Yafuso where he solemnly told us about his conversion story in Japanese (translated by Brother Irie). Once the net had been gathered in to the beach, children and adults detangled the fish and carried them around in their hands. Some posed for photographs with the fish dangling from their mouths to the laughter of those present. Bags of cut oranges were passed around for the refreshment of those on the beach.Precipitation in Kauaʻi's mountainous regions averages 50–100in (1,300–2,500mm) annually. About tenmi (16km) southeast of Kōkeʻe state park, at an elevation of 5,075ft (1,547m), is the Mt. Waiʻaleʻale rain gauge. [22] Mt. Waiʻaleʻale is often cited as the wettest spot on earth, although this has been disputed. Based on data for the period from 1931 through 1960, the average yearly precipitation was 460in (11,700mm) (U.S. Environmental Science Services Administration, 1968). Between 1949 and 2004, the average yearly precipitation at Mt. Waiʻaleʻale was 374in (9,500mm). [23] Located on the southeastern side of the island, Lihue Airport is the only commercial airport with commercial airline services on Kauaʻi. It has direct routes to Honolulu, Kahului/Maui, Kona/Hawaii, the U.S. mainland, and Vancouver, Canada. Other general aviation airports on the island not offering commercial airline services are Port Allen Airport and Princeville Airport. The Pacific Missile Range Facility has a 6,006-foot runway that is closed to general aviation traffic but could be used during a declared emergency landing.

Arripis trutta can differentiated from Arripis xylabion, as the former has a larger tail. [4] Distribution [ edit ] Kauaʻi's climate is tropical, with generally humid and stable conditions year-round, although weather phenomena and infrequent storms have caused instances of extreme weather. At the lower elevations, the annual precipitation varies from an average of about 50in (130cm) on the windward (northeastern) shore to less than 20in (51cm) on the (southwestern) leeward side of the island. The average temperature in Lihu'e, the county seat, ranges from 78°F (26°C) in February to 85°F (29°C) in August and September. Kauaʻi's mountainous regions offer cooler temperatures and a pleasant contrast to the warm coastal areas. At the Kōkeʻe state park, 3,200–4,200ft (980–1,280m) ASL, day temperatures vary from an average of 45°F (7°C) in January to 68°F (20°C) in July. In the winter, temperatures have been known to drop down to the 30s and 40s at Kōkeʻe state park, which holds an unofficial record low of 29°F (−2°C) recorded in February 1986 at Kanaloahuluhulu Meadow.

The lau—it’s a piece of rope with dried ti leaves tied to it. It scares the fish into the net.” He said in the old days, the Hawaiians only had a small net because they were poor. They would use the lau to extend their fishing area. The net used on Saturday was roughly 80 feet long, he said, but they still used lau.

In 1835, Old Koloa Town opened a sugar mill.

But that version of the "Kate" did not have forward "strafing" machineguns, just a single rear machinegun. So the "Kate" could not be the aircraft in the story. Arripis trutta is a migratory fish that may swim long distances, sometimes thousands of kilometres. The adults congregate and form very large schools off oceanic beaches and exposed coasts coastal areas, [3] and will enter rivers. [1] The juveniles live in smaller schools in more sheltered areas such as bays and estuaries, and these mostly occur in the more southerly areas in which this species occurs. It is carnivorous and feeds mainly on small pelagic fish and crustaceans such as krill. [3] They are highly visual predators, preying on a diverse variety which eat a variety of crustaceans and polychaetes during their juvenile phase, however, adults shift their preferred prey to small schooling baitfish such as pilchards, sprats and anchovies. There is some evidence that the diet of A. trutta has undergone a marked shift since the late 20th century, studies conducted during 1950s and 1960s found that the adults fed largely on krill and squid, which are animals associated with cooler waters. Studies during the early 21st century have shown that the main prey taken is small pelagic baitfish. It is thought that this shift is a result of long-term changes in the East Australian Current which brings warmer waters from the Coral Sea and has extended farther south since the 1990s. It is further thought that this "multi-decadal southward penetration of the EAC" is one of the more obvious indications of global warming and the recorded change in the diet of A trutta forms a biological record of oceanic warming.

[36] Towns and communities [ edit ] Early European settlers to New Zealand did not like the fish, describing it as dry, coarse and flavourless. Overtime the fish grew in popularity, and is now one of the most caught recreational fish in the country. [4] Fisheries [ edit ]
