Little tuna, little maraahiri and little ovunaa. The baby fish have their season when they hatch out in the sea, in the rocks. They do not hatch out one by one, they hatch together in a school of fish in their season. In their season they come swimming all together, causing little waves. When they are coming along in a group, the sea turns brown or black. There the (other, bigger) fish eat them. When they come to the lagoon, we scoop them up with mosquito nets and pour them into the canoe. Then the people of the village come along to get them.
