ʻO ka ʻōnaehana o ka zebra mussel kahi ʻano kaʻawale o bivalve mollusk, e noho nui ana i nā hale noho kū hale. Nā lawaiʻa lawaiʻa, ʻoʻa wale nō ia. E ʻike ana iā Dreissen i maʻalahi. Kūpono paha kona ʻano i ka like me ke kūlohelohe, ʻeleʻele a ʻōmaʻomaʻo paha kona ʻulaʻula me kahi hiʻohiʻona hiʻohiʻona ma ke ʻano o zigzag a i ʻole nā kala kālai ʻia. ʻO ka nui o kaʻauʻau ke hiki i 5cm.
ʻO kekahi manawa, ma muli o ka silt ma lalo a me nā hiʻohiʻona o ka wai, pouli nā meaʻiʻeleʻele a uhi ʻia hoʻi me ka “lapalapa”, hiki ke ʻeleʻele piha.
ʻO ka maʻamau, makemake kēia mau ʻulopika e "hoʻopili" aʻai i nā pōhaku, he driftwood, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe nā mea kūlohelohe e waiho ana i loko o ka wai. Hoʻonohonoho ʻia ma nā kolone. ʻO ka mussel zebra maikaʻi no ka lawaiʻa ʻana i ka iʻa keʻokeʻo. Ua ʻike ʻia aia ma waena o nā kīʻaha punahele o ka noho kai i lalo o ka wai, noho a ʻo nā ʻōpio i kahi wahi kūpono loa. A ʻaʻole wale nā mea nona nā mea hana wahaʻaila ikaika e lawe iā lākou.
Ke lilo makemake nei i ka zebra mussel i lilo i scavenger nui, bream a me ka roach. Me ka leʻaleʻa ke ukiuki nei lākou i kāna kalapu (kalima) a me ka iʻa. Ma ke kānāwai, maʻalahi ka ʻike me ka nānā ʻana.
No laila, ma ka bream a i huki ʻia ai ka lehelehe he "ʻokiʻoki" liʻiliʻi. ʻO kahi kēia o ka hānai ʻōpala. Loaʻa nā hanana me nā ʻāpana like ʻole. Manaʻo mākou ʻaʻole ʻoki loa ke kalapu.
ʻO ka iʻa "pani wale" i ka ʻili me kona mau lehelehe mai kahi wahi i hoʻopili ʻia ai a no laila loaʻa iā lākou ka mea i wehewehe ʻia, ʻo ia ka mea maʻamau. Ma hope mai, ʻu ʻia ka zebra mussel a pulau ʻia e nā niho pharyngeal. ʻO ka mea e pōmaikaʻi, ʻoi aku ka "ʻupena" a ka mollusk.
Hoʻohui ʻia i ka hana "nozzle" maoli, hoʻohui pū ʻia ka zebra mussel i nā meaʻai hoʻohui. Eia kekahi, i kekahi mau wahi, hiki i kēia hoʻohui ke hoʻohui hou i ka ʻōmū me ka hoʻopili ʻana i nā loea hilinaʻi pono ʻole.
I nā ala e hana ai i ka zebra mussel, hiki ke hoʻomaopopo ʻia kēia.
Ka mua - lawe ʻia ka clam mai ka ʻili a kau i kahi kaula aniani nui. ʻAʻole koʻikoʻi ka paʻakikī o ka maunu, no laila eʻoi aku ka maikaʻi o ka hana ʻana i kekahi mau punctures. Ua kūpono kēia ala no ka lawaiʻa mā.
ʻO ka lua - ʻo "ka ʻōpala" i ka mollusk, ua ʻōleʻa ʻia ʻo ia me nā ʻōpala. He kūpono kēia no ka lawaiʻa me nā koho kikowaena hapa lalo.
ʻO ke kolu, no nā ʻeke a me nā mākaʻi nui, hana lākou i kahi lei i hana ʻia a pulu i ka zebra mussel, ʻohi ʻana i nā molluska ma luna o kahi lawaiʻa a kāʻohi ʻia i ka māka. ʻO ke kumu, hiki ke hoʻopili pono i nā kinipōpō zebra i ke kaula.
ʻOiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole e hoʻopakele ka zebra mussel mai bezlevy inā ʻaʻole makemake ka iʻa e hānai. Akāʻo ia i ka palaka ʻana i ka wīwī, kahe koko, etc. ʻAe ʻia, akā ʻaʻole i hoʻokaha maoli ʻia, e kōkua nā zebra mussel i mea e puka aku ai mai kēia kūlana.
ʻO ka mea kūlohelohe, hoʻokaʻawale pinepine ʻia nā maunu, hoʻokaʻawale iā ia mai nā wahi o ka "noho" o nā kolana. Hiki ke mālama i nā hāmama wehe me ka wai o ka wai. ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo, ʻaʻole ia he mea akamai i ka mālama ʻana i kahi moana no ka manawa lōʻihi. ʻOiai aia kekahi mau hihia, ʻokiʻoki a hiki i ke hoʻohana ʻana i ka hoʻoilo i ka hoʻoilo, akā ʻo ka "paʻakikī" ʻo ka nozzle a me ka palaualelo o ka iʻa ʻaʻole nō i hōʻoia i kēlā hōʻoki.
