'Āliamanu Salt Lake and Five-0's Kopi Wale No I Ka I'a A 'Eu No Ka Ilo

Summary: All but 'Āliamanu Salt Lake Salts allows that though the fish is well salted, the maggots crawl on Hawaii Five-0's Kopi Wale No I Ka I'a A 'Eu No Ka Ilo.

According to Hawaiian legends, Pele, goddess of fire and volcanoes and creator of the Hawaiian Islands, is credited with digging the Ko'olau Range's Alia pa'akai Crater and forming 'Āliamanu Salt Lake by filling one of the crater's two tuff cones with salt water: Mysteries Of Honolulu @MysteriesofHonolulu, via Facebook July 15, 2012

Hawaii Five-0's Kopi Wale No I Ka I'a A 'Eu No Ka Ilo April 27, 2018, attests that, without 'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts, though the fish is well salted, the maggots crawl.

Director Ruba Nadda and writers Rob Hanning and Rachael Paradis broach, through an 'ōlelo a'o ("advice"), battering an already beaten man in Season 8's 22nd episode. The series' 190th episode overall concerns Akela Nakahara (Cidni Romias), Carrie Nakahara's (Shi Ne Nielson) daughter and Honolulu Police Department Sergeant Duke Lukela's (Dennis Chun) granddaughter. It also deals with two Kaneohe Psychiatric Hospital mental patients, dead Ben Pollard and federal fugitive Dylan Shu (Michael Hake) deviously documented as dead Chris Kosaki.

Maggots, like fugitives after a dead man's identity, eat fish already dead, dying from a haul out of water into a hatch of brine, or live.

John A. Maciolek fits Green Lake and Waiau, Hawai'i; Laysan; Nōmilu, Kaua'i; and Wai'ele'ele, Maui, into fresh-watered, natural, 10,763.9-plus-square-foot (0.1-plus-hectare) across, 21.53-plus-square-foot- (2-plus-square-meter-) deep Hawaiian lakes.

The Hawai'i Cooperative Fishery Research Unit director, 1966-1977, gives Meyer Lake on Molokai and Violet Lake and Wai'ānapanapa on Maui, fresh-watered non-lake status as standing waters. 'Aimakapā and Waiākea Pond, Hawai'i; 'Āliamanu and Ka'elepulu Pond, O'ahu; Halulu Lake, Ni'ihau; Kanahā Pond, Maui; and Kauhakō Lake, Molokai, have non-lake status as standing salt-waters. Twenty-first-century Honolulu, where the imaginary Hawaii Five-0 Task Force is installed, is no longer famous for 'Āliamanu salts, whose international reputation involved importance to fishing vessels.

Incense manufacturers in China and sea captains of Indian and Pacific Ocean-going vessels journeyed in the 19th century to O'ahu for Honolulu's 'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts.

Honolulu's 0.08-square-mile (20-hectare) diameter Salt Lake bottom and shores within the 50-mile (80.47-kilometer) diameter Alia pa'akai salt pond crater once kept world-famous 'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts.

Just one mile (1.61 kilometers) inland between Pearl Harbor and Honolulu lies the Alia pa'akai crater, whose Salt Lake soils once lodged crystallized white salt blocks. The United States Exploring Expedition in 1840 measured the 'Āliamanu at 28-inch (71.12-centimeter) maximum depths even though Hawaiian cultural traditions maintain the Salt Lake as fathomless. A water analysis in 1891 noted 'Āliamanu, named for Alia pa'akai's nearby sister crater, as hypersaline with high chloride, magnesium and sodium and low sulphate levels.

'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts obtain their name from sisters Hi'iaka and Pele, as Hawaiian cultural ancestors, organizing salt-encrusted, salt-honed Alia pa'akai and salt-encrusted, waterbird-honed 'Āliamanu craters.

Pele presented O'ahu with 'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts, whose provenance pulled in Kaua'i, as present-day traditional salt producers, not Maui and Molokai, as current-day commercial producers.

'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts no longer queued up on Alia pa'akai in 1910, when an artesian well quickened freshwater levels for commercial mullet and milkfish ponds. A tunnel in the Alia pa'akai crater's southeast rim and an updated sewage outlet repressed seawater seepages at highest tides and removed 'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts. The 'Āliamanu Salt Lake no longer supplies 'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts from its freshwater springs and survives since 1966 as the Honolulu Country Club fish pond.

Hawaii Five-0 task force members track abducted children, dead patients, federal fugitives and heist money even as Alia pa'akai crater touts no 'Āliamanu Salt Lake salts.
