Hey, I’ve been mapping how the Kuroshio current shifts plankton around and it got me thinking we could play a little game with those changes—care to brainstorm a strategy?
Mefisto
Sure, let’s turn that oceanic dance into a chessboard. If we can predict when the plankton will cluster, we can lure them into a trap—maybe a bait that’s too tempting for the predators to ignore, or a sudden shift that forces them into a zone we control. Think of it like a ripple; one small change in current and you’ve shifted the whole battlefield. Ready to orchestrate the next move?

Sounds like a clever plan, but remember the plankton don’t follow a chess set exactly— they just drift with the currents. We could set up a few bait jars that match the flow of the Kuroshio and see if the predators follow the scent trail. I’ll bring my notebook, label each jar after a current, and we’ll watch the numbers. Let’s keep it simple, keep it scientific, and avoid any unnecessary plastic. Ready to mark the grid?
Mefisto
Excellent, let’s make the current do our bidding. Set the jars, label them, and watch the predators chase their own reflections. I’ll coordinate the timing; the trick is to let them believe they’re the hunters, while we’re the unseen puppeteers. Ready when you are.
PeliCan
Let’s do it. I’ll put a clear jar labeled “Agulhas” for the southward surge, a brown glass jar for the “Alborán,” and a black bottle for the “Sulu.” I’ll hang them on a lightweight rope, so they drift just right. You’ll watch the predators from the deck, and when the fish school turns toward the scent, we’ll count the passes and note the time. Just remember to keep the jars out of plastic—use glass and keep the caps in a separate stash. Let the current do the work, and we’ll keep our notebook ready. Let's move.
