On the evening of February 6, Zhuhai's photography enthusiasts were enthusiastically exclaiming one thing - Zhuhai's "blue tide" was as beautiful as an alien exotic land!
Zhuhai's "Blue Tide" occurred in the sea area in front of the Jinshan Mountain Juju Game:
Under the night sky of Zhuhai, the "romantic city", the mottled blue light points are accompanied by the undulating waves of the sea, and a large wave rolls in, and the transparent blue light points are connected together, which looks more dazzling and mysterious.
Under the sea and sky, the quiet sand beach is far away from the hustle and bustle of the city, and at this moment, the blue light points and the Galactic starlight shine together. "The journey of the sun and the moon, if out of it, the stars are brilliant, if it is out of it", the mysterious blue light beauty, but also set off the romance of Zhuhai.
Beautiful blue fluorescence, combined with dark and rugged reefs, Xiaotian feels lost in an alien exotic land, making people linger.
The "blue tide" is a fluorescent beach, also known as a "Martian tide", which is a bioluminescent phenomenon formed by luminous plankton. The fluorescent sea is actually a bioluminescent phenomenon, which is the process by which organisms release chemical energy into light energy through certain chemical reactions in the body.
"Blue tide" is caused by the reproduction of single-celled biological dinoflagellates, many species of dinoflagellates can emit light, the most common coastal areas in China are noctiluth insects (Noctiluca scintillans), including others such as knee algae (Gonyaulaxspp.) and so on.
For dinoflagellates, this bioluminescence phenomenon may be a defense measure. The fluorescence emitted by dinoflagellates attracts fish, which can drive away dinoflagellate predators.
When the content of nutrient factors such as phosphorus, potassium, and iron in a certain area of seawater rises, the amount of dinoflagellates increases. This is a sign of eutrophication in seawater, which may cause explosive growth of dinoflagellates, resulting in red tides.
The explosive growth of dinoflagellates will deplete the sea of oxygen in large quantities, causing other marine organisms to die from lack of oxygen.
Note that dinoflagellates, etc. will synthesize a variety of toxins such as short-psilocytoxin (BTX) during growth, and these toxins can accumulate in seafood such as shellfish through enrichment, resulting in increased food safety risks.
At the same time, the toxins produced by dinoflagellates may also make people allergic, so this beautiful "blue tide" scenery can be viewed from a distance and cannot be "played".
According to information, there are less than ten beaches in the world with "blue tide" fluorescent beaches, including: Maldives, Puerto Rico, Australia and other tourist resorts.
According to fishermen, Zhuhai's fluorescent beaches often appear, but basically the fluorescence is very weak, and it is rare to have a particularly bright "blue tide".
Let's enjoy some of the magical beauty of the "Blue Tide", which is like an alien exotic style.
Finally, Xiao Tian had to say a troublesome thing, on February 7, my baby found a large number of corpses of marine creatures at the beach, because she often went to the beach to play, so she knew what the usual seaside was like.
Today is very different from usual, there are many more remains of marine life that do not appear much - this is the marine ecological story behind the "blue tide", Xiaotian once again reiterated that protecting the environment is for us human beings! The earth has been in the vicissitudes of the mulberry field many times, which does not affect its free operation, but the biological mass extinction has occurred five times in history, and Xiaotian hopes that the sixth time will come later. (Preferably postponed until the end of the solar life)
The picture shows the remains of unknown marine creatures that caused my baby to exclaim, many of which are not usually seen.
I am a small fantasy, try to share some of the information I see, I hope that each article can be quickly read in a few minutes, welcome everyone to pay attention, thank you!
