Barnacle

Pretty spooky.

And this is where he sees the Barnacle Man.

Barnacle Man?

Yeah, sitting in his seat.

Oh, yeah.

I was thinking Barnacle Boy.

He's sitting in his seat and he just turns around and he's like, Hey, buddy, I was steering the sub while you were out.

He's a little bit of an icky boy, a little bit of a grossman.

Silver.

Weekend at Barnacles.

Gold.

Jemunski.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Barnacle.

Sorry.

That's what happened last night.

Get hands on with Long Island Winemaking by helping pick and sort grapes alongside RGNY's vineyard team.

And then Bats, Barnacles, and Broomsticks Halloween Party at the Long Island Aquarium.

If you haven't been to a party there or like an event there, you should make sure that you go.

You

His face was inches from mine, if you could call it a face.

Barnacles had claimed his left cheek.

Something green and slimy dripped from his mouth onto my pillow.

His eyes, bloodshot and wild, stared directly into mine.

找得到。

不，不对喔。它是一种台语叫做刺巴，英语叫做 Barnacle 的动物。[音效] Barnacle 啊，就是刺巴，是一种生活在海里的节肢动物，对它的外形可以粗粗分成三种款。一种呢，是在海岸边的岩石、船底，或是海底的壳，还是红色的身体里会看到。就像小小的沙粒一样的刺巴。而第二种呢，是一种叫做寄居蟹，啊也有人叫它虎触，或是龟触，或是龟壳的刺巴。在金门、马祖，或是日本的一些地方，是被人拿来做海产吃的喔。我听说吃起来的感觉和虱目差不多。嗯，其实也不意外啦，因为刺巴和虱目一样都是节肢动物啦，而且都住在海里面。而第三种呢，就是我们今天要介绍的会寄生虱目的刺巴。它是怎样寄生的呢？我们现在就继续来介绍啰。[音效]这一类寄生的刺巴啊，在分类上是 Sacculina 属，啊就是比正还高一层的分类。若是要去知分类相关的内容啊，可以回去听《Pokemon 公主连》SP1 那集喔。而目前为止啊，全世界已经发现超过三百种的 Sacculina 的物种啊，他们都是寄生。而其中大部分都寄生在虱目的身体里头喔。啊一般来说啊，Sacculina 孵出来后，会在海里四处游，一直到找到它的宿主，啊，就是被寄生虫寄生的生物。啊这一次说的就是虱目。它找到宿主后呢，就会跑去宿主的身体里，吸收它们的营养大汉，然后会控制那只被寄生的虱目啊，来给它找食物呢。啊它的卵啊，会是一粒粒的，啊孵化后呢，会留在虱目腹部的那个地方，远远看过去啊，就就像是虱膏一样。我之所以呢，就是因为那个字啊，所以它的拉丁名才会用 Sacculina，啊那个 Sac 就是袋的意思，啊应该就是它名字的由来。在华语里面，把 Sacculina 叫做虱目奴隶。啊不过你如果听了我刚才形容 Sacculina 寄生虱目，就会发现说，其实是虱目在做人的奴隶喔。因为啊，目前为止，它没有台语正式的名字，所以啊，我就用其拉丁名 Sacculina 转化成日语的袋藤，来做它的台语名啰。啊听到那个虱目啊，还有虱膏，我想问小花连，你感觉有很好吃的的感觉呢？

我感觉很糟糕，那个虱膏感觉很糟糕。

东北的，哎，多数人都会说，哇，这个不好吃啦，因为虱膏啊，还有虱目啊，是最好吃的部分喔。好，那么不过呢，被袋藤寄生的虱目，你感觉它还能不能吃？

If noaafisheries.gov was making trading cards for marine mammals, which one would have the back of the card with these stats? Uh, the only baleen whale known for regular bottom-feeding, famous for one of the longest migrations of any mammal, often covered with barnacles and whale lice...

Barnacle, I like that word.

[laughs]

Uh, no true dorsal fin, has a low hump and knuckles, ha ha, usually travels close to shore during migration.

Yeah, so heavy.

It's got barnacles on it.

Barnacles.
