According to foreign media reports, what happened 200 years ago? For example, President James Madison occupied the White House in 1813, the Americans attacked Fort George, Canada, and so on, if you don't turn the history textbook, no one should know, but if you give a grouper memory, then it must know!
Born somewhere in the North Taiping 200 years ago and caught 200 years later off the coast of Alaska by Seattle resident Henry Lieberman, this grouper is probably the oldest grouper ever made, at around 200 years old.
According to Troy Tydingco, a staff member of the Alaska Department of Fisheries, the longest-lived Northern Flat Fish (Sebastes borealis) is currently around 175 years old, but its body length is significantly smaller than that of the oversized grouper caught by Henry Lieberman, the northern flat catfish around 175 years old is 83 cm long, about 32.5 inches, and the grouper caught by Henry Lieberman is 104 cm long, greater than 41 inches. So the newly captured one will only be older.
According to the Sentinel newspaper, it's just that the grouper has been sent to the lab, and scientists will further confirm its age.
Typically, researchers can estimate the age of a fish based on the otolithic rings near the ear bone, which is similar to the rings of a tree trunk, and this organ is also an important place for fish to perceive three-dimensional space and control the balance of the body.
The mystery of animal longevity is also an unsolved mystery explored by biologists, and some researchers have found that smaller individuals live longer than the larger individuals in their class, which may be due to abnormal cell growth that causes individuals to become larger and reduce their lifespan, while larger individuals are also susceptible to the risk of other diseases, such as an increased probability of developing cancer.
The world's longest-lived animal is thought to be a clam that exists on the seafloor near Iceland, and scientists have estimated its age based on the texture on its shells, which is about 400 years old.
In addition, the grouper caught by Henry Lieberman also set a record, the largest grouper caught so far, weighing 17.73 kilograms, about 39.08 pounds, according to Henry Lieberman: "I felt that the fish was very huge, but I didn't know it would be a record.
