Hoʻomaopopo nā meaolaola Pelekane i nā mea ʻauʻau a me nā mea hoʻomaha i ka nui o nā physalia, a i ʻole kapa ʻia lākou, nā moku Pukiki, i ʻike ʻia i ka wai o Pelekane Nui. Inā pili ka launa ʻana, hiki i kēia mau jellyfish ke hana i nā hōʻeha kino like ʻole.
ʻO kaʻoiaʻiʻo o ka holo ʻana o ka moku Pukiki i loko o ka wai o Beritania i hōʻike mua ʻia, akā i kēia manawa ua hoʻomaka lākou e ʻike ʻia ma nā kahakai o ka ʻāina i ka nui. I kēia manawa ua loaʻa nā hōʻike o nā mea ʻē aʻe, kuni ahi i Cornwall a me ka moku ʻo Scilly Archipelago. I kēia manawa ke whakatupala ʻia nei ka lehulehu no ka pilikia e pili ana i ke kolone lana o nā moku Pukiki. ʻO nā nahu o kēia mau mea ke hana i ka ʻehaʻeha a ma kekahi mau hihia hiki i ka make.
Ua hoʻomaka ʻia nā mea e nānā nei no kekahi mau pule he nui mai ka hōʻike ʻana mai o nā mana o ʻIralani ua holoi ʻia kēia mau mea lele weliweli e pae i uka. Ma mua o kēia, ʻike pinepine ʻia ʻo fizalia i kēia wai. Ua lehulehu loa lākou ma 2009 a me 2012. ʻO Dr Peter Richardson o ka Society for the Conservation of Marine Fauna i ʻōlelo ʻia ua hōʻike ʻia nā moku Pukiki no ka nui o kēia mau holoholona i ʻike ʻia i kēia manawa o ka makahiki.
Eia nō naʻe, e lawe aku paha nā kahawai ʻAkelanika i nā mea hou aku o lākou i kahakai o Pelekane Nui. ʻO ka ʻōlelo koʻikoʻi, ʻaʻole ka moku Pukiki i kahi jellyfish, akā he like like ia me ia a he kolone lana o hydromedusa, ʻo ia ka nui o nā meaola kai liʻiliʻi e noho pū a hana like me ka holoʻokoʻa.
Ke nānā aku nei ʻo Physalia i ke kino poni mānoanoa i ʻike ʻia ma luna o ka wai. Eia hou, he mau tentacles kā lākou e kau ma lalo o ka lana-lana a hiki i kahi lōʻihi o kekahi mau ʻumi mau mika. Hiki i kēia mau tentacles ke ʻehaʻeha a make paha.
ʻO kahi moku Pukiki i kiola ʻia i waho o nā birch e like me kahi pōpō poni ʻulaʻula deflated me nā lipine polū e hoʻonui ʻia ana mai ona aku. Inā hālāwai nā keiki me ia, hoihoi paha lākou iā ia. No laila, ʻo kēlā me kēia mea e manaʻo e kipa i nā kahakai i kēia hopena pule, i mea e hōʻalo ai i ka pilikia, ua aʻo ʻia e pili ana i ke ʻano o kēia mau holoholona. Eia kekahi, ua noi ʻia ka poʻe āpau i ʻike i nā moku Pukiki e hoʻomaopopo i nā lawelawe kūpono e loaʻa ai kahi manaʻo ʻoi aku ka nui o ka hoʻouka kaua Physalia i kēia makahiki.
