Padina minor(ウスユキウチワを採取)

We conducted a field survey in Ibusuki City to collect some seaweeds including Padina minor. Collected materials will be used for the laboratory class of Marine Botany for undergraduate students.

Padina minor
ウスユキウチワを指宿市で採取しました。学生実験とひらめきときめきサイエンスの海藻押し葉講座で使う予定です。



After the field work, we had a lunch at an outdoor Japanese restaurant in Ibusuki City. Special dish of this restaurant is a Somen (fine noodle that was soaked in cold fresh water). Indeed, we can see an unique apparatus that flows in a circle flume.
Catch it by chopsticks and dip it in a source (center, a small glass), and eat.

サンプリングの後は唐仙峡のそうめん流しに行きました(市営)。院生のW邊くんと2人だったので,彼が流したそうめんを私がキャッチ・・・・

Can you find the flowing noodles in the flume? Can you catch it by chopsticks?
ぐるぐる廻っているのがわかります?
