needlefish
The spider-silk lure hangs below the kite, flitting across the water like an insect. Now he must steer the kite to where he thinks the fish are gathered. Somewhere, just beneath the surface, shoals of needlefish lie in wait. He keeps a close eye on the kite, if it drops, a fish is snared. No hook is needed. The sharp teeth and rough scales of the needlefish are tangled in the spider silk. It's clever, it's effective and many fish can be caught in this way. Their ability to adapt and find food both on land and at sea was crucial to the survival of the Pacific's first human colonisers. But it wasn't all plain sailing, the Pacific's more remote islands were some of the last places on Earth to be discovered by humans. And the island chain of Hawaii is the remotest of them all. These islands are so hard to reach that before humans arrived, only one new species of plant or animal turned up here every 35,000 years. For those lucky few that made it, this was a land of milk and honey. |
