Source Title: Foggy: Strange Deep-Sea Fish Appear on Alaska Beaches
According to the British "Daily Mail" reported on January 12, last week, a rags appeared off the coast of Alaska and was found dead. This is the second marshopper that has been washed ashore in four decades, a phenomenon that confuses experts.
The soyra belongs to the family of boneless fish, living on the bottom of the 4000-foot (1219 m) seabed, is a deep-sea fish with a body length of up to 2 meters, distributed in the North Pacific, and some live on the alaskan seafloor. The 6.5-foot (1.98 m) tall ray appears at Gustavs Pier, home to Glacier Bay National Park. Last July, another tarsier appeared in the same waters, 7.8 feet (2.37 m) long, both females, and pregnant.
Craig Murdoch, a fisheries biologist at the National Park Service, said a state transport worker spotted the marsup while patrolling the docks. At the time, he thought it was a halibut, but when he walked in, he was surprised.
Murdoch said, "Because there are not many observations of the marmot, it is difficult to judge what it means to have two marshoppers in the same sea in just half a year." It may be an unexpected result of a large increase in populations, it may be related to the large decline in the number of sea doves in the Gulf of Alaska, or it may be just an accident. But these only add to the doubts. (Intern Editor: Sun Xiaoxue Reviewer: Chen Wei)
