This title is part of the PALM (Pacific Area Languages Materials) collection, a series of literacy and educational resources produced mainly in the 1970s–1990s to support learning in the indigenous languages of Micronesia. While PALM books often feature short narratives or culturally grounded lessons with simple illustrations, the series also includes translated foreign stories—such as fairytales and fables—and a range of non-fiction texts. Written entirely in Pohnpeian and intended for elementary students, this book supports reading fluency, vocabulary development, and cultural relevance by providing accessible, locally meaningful texts within a structured instructional sequence.

Abstract

This educational text in Pohnpeian explains the life cycle of fish, the food chain (predator and prey relationships), and the concept of symbiosis in the ocean. It discusses how different fish species depend on each other and their environment to survive, and concludes with a warning about the dangers of overfishing and the importance of conserving marine life to prevent species from dying out.
