What do samoan palolo worms eat

This year's palolo season in Samoa is from October 8 to October 10, and while palolo can be found all over Samoa, Magele said it was a matter of accessibility. But in Savai'i there are certain locations where access to the reef is easier," he said. Due to its high demand and high value, palolo is also now a common product at the markets in the capital Apia and Salelologa. However, Magele said the commercialisation of the palolo could detract from its traditional value.

It was a gift to be shared. There is no one way to ka palolo, and Samoans have different methods which they believe work the best. But the process itself is relatively quiet. So I think that's a part of the palolo process as well," Ms Ah Hi said.

When Samoans go to ka palolo they often bring with them flashlights, fishing nets and leis necklaces of moso'oi, a fragrant flower which is said to attract the palolo. The Palolo Festival is a five-day festival held on the island of Savai'i and includes palolo rising preparations and celebrations as well as environmental and cultural awareness.

Ms Ah Hi said the Palolo Festival had been revived this year partly because borders were closed due to the coronavirus pandemic. We are looking inwards at our own traditions and cultural events that may have gotten lost as we tried to focus on the outside tourist market.
