In marine life, there are many strange and strange species, even if it is the same species, the juvenile and adult years are different, it is difficult to distinguish. Recently, in the waters of Australia's Great Barrier Reef, divers have found a strange fish, no ability to swim, can only levitate straight, almost transparent fish body, and long hairstyle, which is curious.
If it weren't for the size of the fish and the long haircut and whiskers, it would have been easy to think of it as a sewing needle falling into the ocean. From the head of this fish, it can also be distinguished that this is a royal band fish, belonging to the juvenile king band fish, the body color is relatively white, and the adult king band fish body color is from pink to base red.
Kinghead fish generally live in the warm sea depths of 200-1000 meters, generally rarely close to the Qianhai, and during the breeding season, the kingfish will begin to breed on the bottom of the coral reef, and the female royal band fish will lay a total of about 100,000 eggs for 2 consecutive weeks during the breeding period, so this juvenile kingfish may also move with the sea.
- The kingfish have a peculiar way of swimming
The fins are used by fish to swim, and can also maintain the balance of the body's important organs, to help the fish swim quickly and in balance, while the royal band fish swims by swinging its long dorsal fin, swimming in a vertical manner, the fish body remains straight.
In marine fish, blade fish are also suspended and swimming in this way, the fins of blade fish are almost completely degraded, but there are still fins, but it is not obvious, among which the dorsal fin of the blade fish is degraded, and the tail fin is also smaller, so they have almost no ability to swim, and can only levitate and float.
The way the king band swims vertically, head up, tail down, so that its swimming speed is very slow, almost floating in the ocean, but it is also a fierce predator, with a hard upper and lower jaw, when found to have prey swimming above it, the king band fish will curl up its own fish body, and then quickly pop out like a spring, so that the acceleration, so that the king band fish can prey to other fish, squid, crabs and other prey.
- The king band fish is known as the "earthquake fish", can it really predict marine earthquakes?
King's stripe fish belongs to the world's longest teleost fish, generally up to 3 meters or more, the weight can reach 270 kg, coupled with its fierce face, so that it is a bit vicious, frightening, but also has the sea snake, dragon palace messenger, dragon king fish, large striped fish, large herring and other names, which is more known for "earthquake fish", because this deep-sea fish generally appears on the beach after the ocean storm, is considered to be an ominous signal omen, whenever the king band fish appears in the shoal, there will be abnormal movements such as marine earthquakes or tsunamis.
Can kingfish really predict ocean earthquakes? In general, deep-sea species such as kingfish do rarely appear in the shallow sea, because the pressure is different, it is easy to cause casualties, so the deep-sea species appear in the shoals, it is very likely to be related to deep-sea earthquakes, when the deep sea crust is abnormal, it will make these deep-sea species have an abnormal sense of direction, so that they panic and run around, hiding in the shallow sea and so on.
However, statistics show that the number of times the kingfish appear in the shoals is very large, and the occurrence of deep sea crust anomalies is relatively small, so the emergence of deep-sea species has a variety of reasons, whether it is related to the precursor of the earthquake, can not be simply judged, but also need more scientific arguments.
It may be that deep-sea species suffer from some kind of disease, including injuries, so that these deep-sea species can not live in the deep sea as usual, unable to avoid the waves, and finally washed into the shoal by the waves, so although the royal band fish is called "earthquake fish", its appearance is not necessarily abnormal movement on the seabed, and it cannot accurately predict earthquakes or tsunamis.
