ulutSurkesá matngan isuEnglishfish type; whitebaitThe ulut are just small fish and they travel in groups. They have their season/cycle for arriving. They come to the mouth of the river at the time when the moon flees and the new moon rises. (When it is) their time for coming, they say that the ulut have arrived. How do they know that they should come? It’s like this. Since long ago this fish was ripe/arrived every month, however today many people know how to stop the ulut so that they will not arrive, resulting in many times the ulut do not repeatedly come frequently now/anymore. People know the times when the moon will flee and reappear, then they go to wait for them at the mouth of the river, and when they see that it is red out in the ocean, then they know that the ulut has arrived. And when they have arrived, then they fish for them with a net for food. This net they make from mosquito nets. The color of the ulut is white, but when they travel together, they (people) see that the ocean is red with them. It is a good small fish for eating.1.6.1.5Fishfish
