February 2007 Hawaiian Worms /
Kewalo Basin, Honolulu, Oah...
Plucked from the gut of a fisherman's catch, this parasitic worm is named after the ono fish that hosts it, ono meaning "good to eat" in Hawaiian. The worm "smelled to high heaven," says photographer Darlyne Murawski. "It was full of blood." Such parasites, called trematodes, take up residence in other animals, feed on and reproduce within them, and then either kill the host or escape. Their bodies are almost entirely dedicated to reproduction.
