It is whale leaves the sea final tenderness -- whale falls. As cetacean body, it is sinking to make offerings to into marine process slowly a circulatory system that gives priority to with analyst is as long as hundred years. In Chinese Nanhai, the scientist discovered this one poetic flavour first and solemn and stirring existence.
On April 3, according to CCTV the report says, the Chinese Academy of Sciences " explore " the boat is arrived at 3 inferior, this division takes an examination of one of significant gain to discover 3 meters long whale to fall first in Chinese Nanhai namely.
As the whole world existent the biggest animal, the important composition of marine zoology is when whale is living, whale becomes to fall to ocean to return a gift after dying. It is called together with hot fluid, Leng Quan the 3 big oasis of deep-sea life.
Just about because of whale kind wait for the body drive with tremendous animal to cannot be fed quickly saprophyte decomposes almost to use up, and can fall into sea floor. The process that the body falls into sea floor can is as long as a few months comes several years, can be the each type consumer of food chain, include abyssopelagic fishes, crustacean, much wool kind, still all sorts of tiny living things provide food. In boreal Pacific Ocean deep-sea in, 12490 organism that have 43 sort at least are to rely on whale to fall those who live.
It is OK that whale falls implementation is changed can raise oneself. That is to say, they can produce food through chemical him reaction. Besides do not need to get sun's rays (because sunshine cannot cross deep water) , change can raise oneself be similar to floral photosynthesis.
Study a phenomenon deep to this kind of fancy ecosystem, the scientist discovers the bacterium can eat off the bone of whale, contain in this kind of bone of 60% adipose. Subsequently, hydrogen of meeting production vulcanization carries the bacterium to be able to be synthesized for be being changed to autotroph, be born for them raise with breed. In addition, still biology of oxygen of a few be disgusted with can eat off whale bone, decompose fat kind.
The contemporary and natural whale that at present the whole world discovers falls gross is not worth 50, so this discovery of Nanhai the meaning is uncommon, have long-term observation value.
