The Salt Water and Freshwater Ponds From Tales of Moloka‘i, by Harriet Ne and Gloria Cronin This is a chapter out of the tale of Kamalō, the taro pond. In this chapter they explain how to make a fishpond in Kamalo‘o. Before it was called Kamalō, Kamalo‘o was the name of the place because this is where the ocean once was. However the land went through a drought, and the water never came back. The citizens loved this reef because of all the tidepools and how the waves never broke near the reef. One day a person by the name of Kimo Ka‘ilianu wanted to make fishponds that were close to land. The fishermen were excited about this idea, so they made saltwater ponds by digging out the sand from the area and dumping it on the sides to make the fishpond walls. They also made some fishponds on land, however it was harder to make these fishponds because it was like making a taro field. The walls of the fishpond are made with mud, sticks, branches and rock. The bottom is pounded to pack the earth down so the water will run smoothly in the fishpond. In the saltwater ponds small ‘Ama‘ama, Awa, Kūmū and Mao were raised. Most of the people raised their fish like pigs. Some people raised the fish like they were dogs, and some other people could just grab the fish and play with it in their hand. The fish lived on the seaweed and dirt of the fishpond and that is how the fishponds were made in Moloka‘i. |
