Pioeoe Purple Rock Barnacles Age Ships on Magnum's I Saw the Sun Rise

Summary: Pioeoe purple rock barnacles age sunken ships on Magnum's I Saw the Sun Rise, like agents absent on A World of Trouble, if added, age fire extinguishers.

Illustrations of "Cirripedia -- Rankenkrebfe" includes a relative of Nesochthamalus intertextus, Chthamalus antennatus (second from lower right), also first identified by Charles Darwin, but absent from Hawaii, as 12th of 15 depicted in Ernst Haeckel (Feb. 16, 1834-Aug. 9, 1919), Kunstformen der Natur, zweite sammlung (1899), tafel 57: Public Domain, via Smithsonian Libraries and Archives Digital Collections

Pioeoe purple rock barnacles age sunken ships on Magnum's I Saw the Sun Rise Sept. 24, 2018, like agents, if added, age fire extinguishers on A World of Trouble May 1, 2020.

Director Justin Lin and writers Eric Guggenheim and Peter Lenkov bring a boatful of burgled Iraqi gold into the crime action drama television series' first episode. Iraqi gold conveyed clandestinely from its captive country and counted among covert caches when its carrier crashed caused the tortured death of Sebastian Nuzo (Domenick Lombardozzi). Density and duration of barnacles dwelling upon the damaged hull date the deliberate destruction of the doomed vehicle, whose discovery dooms one of four decorated heroes.

Ship coordinates escort two of Nuzo's three friends, private investigator Thomas Magnum (Jay Hernandez) and Rick Wright (Zachary Knighton), to expropriated gold and Nuzo's ex-military executioners.

Season One's first episode and Season Two's 18th episode, like the intervening episodes, feature Oahu (from Hawaiian o'ahu, "gathering place"), where native and non-native barnacles flourish.

Pioeoe (from Hawaiian pi'oe, "barnacle") purple rock barnacles perhaps get name and specimen recognition as high-tide fast-growers off such exposed coastlines as Magnum's Robin's Nest residence. The intertidal, splash-zone, supratidal natives of Fiji, Indonesia, Japan, New Guinea, Philippines, Taiwan, Tuamotu and West Pacific Islands eastward to Pitcairn and Hawaii have hermaphroditic organs. The Chthamalidae (from Greek χθαμαλός, "flat" and -ειδής, "resembling") family's dense and sparse hermaphroditic (from Greek Ἑρμῆς, "Hermes" and Ἀφροδίτη, "Aphrodite) populations initiate cross- and self-fertilizations.

One with love goddess-honoring female and messenger god-honoring male reproductive organs journeys through egg, larval and mature stages as judiciously as many pioeoe purple rock barnacles.

One barnacle's 6- to 8-inch- (15.24- to 20.32-centimeter-) long, sperm-transferring tube temporarily inside another’s mantle cavity kindles fertilized, hatched, released eggs perhaps six times each year.

Hatched eggs leave mantle cavities within five months as free-swimming naupliar (from Greek ναύπλιος, "shellfish"), planktonic (from Greek πλαγκτός, "drifter") larvae (from Latin larva, "ghost-like, masked"). All naupliar larvae throughout six instars (from Latin instar, "form, likeness") manifest one eye; paired appendages as two antennae, two antennules, two mandibles; and unsegmented bodies. The larval barnacle nets a second, sessile (from sessilis, "sitting"), setting stage as non-feeding cyprid (from Greek κύπρις, "lovely") before nestling into physical and sexual maturity.

Pioeoe purple rock barnacles, observed by Charles Darwin (Feb. 12, 1809-April 19, 1882), Brian Foster and William Newman, occupy Black Point, Kaupo, Mokuleia, Portlick and Waikiki.

The flat-shelled Hawaiian barnacles, Nesochthamalus intertextus (from Greek νῆσος, "island" and χθαμαλός, "flat"; and Latin inter, "between" and textus, "woven") scientifically, possesses a large, oval opening.

Age and erosion quit shell plates of gray-white growth ridges, purple inter-ribbing, vertical ribbing and wavy, zigzag sutures for, instead, pitted, purpled interiors and straightened sutures. Maturity replaces all membranes, apart the center-portioned membranes, with exterior and interior layers of calcareous, limestone material purpling, preventing shell-size enlargement and promoting convex, saucer-shaped sides. Tergal (from Latin tergum, "surface") plates, featureless apart pitted inner-sides, show black-purple, equal-sized sides separable from scutal plates; clear spurs; and four tergar depressor muscle sets.

Twenty- to 60-pound (9.07- to 27.22-kilogram) adhesive and 5,000-pound (2,267.96-kilogram) tensile glue strengths of pioeoe purple rock barnacles perhaps triggered the drag-, fuel-, weight-threatened, gold-transporting ship.
