The most beautiful in the world, but the whale falls! Whales fall to the bottom of the sea and feed the beings of the Dark Realm for a hundred years.
As the saying goes, when a whale falls, all things live. Whale Fall: When a whale dies in the ocean, its carcass slowly sinks to the bottom of the ocean, forming a unique ecosystem in the process. Falling whales can feed a decomposer-based circulatory system for up to a hundred years, which is the last tenderness that whales leave to the sea. Along with hydrothermal and cold springs, whale fall is known as an "oasis" for deep-sea life groups, and in the deep sea of the North Pacific, whale fall maintains the survival of at least 43 species and 12,490 organisms, promoting the prosperity of deep-sea life.
On the afternoon of April 2, the "Exploration No. 1" research vessel completed the first scientific expedition voyage (ts16 voyage) of 2020 and returned to the Sanya Rescue Bureau terminal. During this marine scientific expedition, whale fall was first detected in the South China Sea. TS16 voyage co-chief scientist, Associate Professor Xie Wei of Sun Yat-sen University, said that the whale that was found this time, there are dozens of white armor shrimp, red shrimp, and several ferrets nearby, and the tail can even observe the ferret shench tearing muscles, indicating that it is still in the first stage, speculating that it is likely to be a whale that has recently died, with long-term observation value.
Whale colonies provide food for many marine life. In addition to invertebrates and fish, these marine organisms have many microorganisms. Whales are huge compared to these marine creatures, so the number of individual marine life that can feed a whale by death is very impressive. Whale drops can also provide shelter for some marine life, after all, whales are huge, no matter how many creatures will not completely decompose it, whale remnants will exist in the ocean for a long time!
