My Deep-sea Fishery
Chapter 417: Magical symbiosis
Li Chao pointed to the bungalow and asked, "Brother Xiang, did you bring us here?"
"come in."
After Xiang Yang finished speaking, he walked into the house first.
Li Chao and Xu Yue looked at each other half, and then followed.
This house is the old house of the third uncle Xiangyang. Because the third uncle's family went out to make a living, the old house was vacant and it has been unoccupied for many years.
"The house has been in disrepair for a long time and is a bit dilapidated, but don't worry about safety issues. There are some of my treasures hidden here." Xiang Yang said.
"Baby?" Both Li Chao and Xu Yueban's eyes lit up.
"In fact, it is some sea fish that I think are valuable, but I can't find the buyer for a while." Xiang Yang opened the door, and there were two rows of fish tanks neatly arranged in some dim living rooms, each with various postures. Beautiful daughters, big and small, different colors, strange shapes, if ordinary people come, they will definitely be dazzled at first sight.
There was a group of happy-looking and cute fish in an aquarium with exaggerated body colors. The agile swimming style caught the attention of Li Chao and Xu Yueban.
"This is a clown fish. It's very difficult to catch. These are the things I finally caught." Xiang Yang said with a smile.
Xiang Yang was fascinated by the appearance of the clownfish the first time he met the clownfish. Although the color of the clownfish is not much, it is very eye-catching. It is hard to forget at first sight, especially on its face. The leukoplakia is particularly happy, which makes people happy at first sight.
"These clown fishes were all found among giant sea anemones when I was fishing for holding sea anemones." Xiang Yang said.
Clownfish, also known as sea anemone fish, is a general term for a variety of tropical sea fishes that can mutually beneficially coexist with sea anemones. They are distributed in various tropical seas all over the world. There are currently 28 species of clown fish, most of which All are Amphiprion, the largest of them is 11 cm in length.
Each of these clown fish caught by Xiang Yang had one or two white stripes on their heads, which resembled the oil paint on the face of a circus clown. This oil paint is the iconic thing on the clown fish and the origin of their name.
Li Chao looked at Xiang Yang and wondered: "Can the clownfish be kept alone without the anemone?"
Xu Yueban also wondered: "I also heard that clownfish and sea anemones have a symbiotic relationship."
The so-called symbiosis refers to a symbiotic relationship in which two or more species in the biological world are mutually dependent and mutually beneficial.
This symbiotic relationship can be a long-term behavior or a short-term behavior. Generally, two species that exist in this relationship either live together or die together, and no one will do if the two parties leave.
"The clownfish has a symbiotic relationship with sea anemones, but it's not that it can't live without sea anemones. It's just that it's very gorgeous and easy to be spotted by enemies. It doesn't have the ability to protect itself, so it depends on sea anemones The toxin is only protecting itself. I keep it in a fish tank. It doesn't have natural enemies, why can't it survive?" Xiang Yang asked rhetorically.
Many weak marine creatures want to survive in the dangerous ocean world, they must find a strong backing.
Clownfish is one of the many weak marine creatures, so it chose sea anemones as its backing.
So can sea anemones serve as a backer for clownfish?
The answer is yes, sea anemones have tentacles that can secrete venom, which can protect themselves and clownfish from being attacked by other fierce marine creatures.
Moreover, the clownfish is extremely small, even if it only eats the leftover food residue from the sea anemone, it can sustain its life needs.
So is the sea anemone willing to backer for the clownfish?
The answer is also yes.
Sea anemones are very happy to provide refuge to clownfish, because sea anemones cannot take the initiative to attack when they prey on prey.
There are violent toxins but there is no way to take the initiative to attack. If the sea anemone can't find a way to send the prey to the door, it will have to starve to death.
So what method does the sea anemone rely on to get prey to the door?
The answer is clownfish.
Clownfish use their bodies and their bright colors to easily attract other fish to approach and provide sea anemones with predation opportunities.
Moreover, the clownfish is also the "personal doctor fish" of the anemone. After symbiosis with the anemone, the clownfish will take the initiative to remove the necrotic tissue and parasites from the anemone. In addition, the clownfish is also responsible for the cleaning of the anemone.
The clownfish parasitizing the sea anemone will swim quickly to reduce the probability of food debris remaining in the sea anemone.
"And not every clownfish can get along well with anemones, at least most clownfish have a bad relationship with anemones in the early stage." Xiang Yang laughed.
Clownfish will choose suitable sea anemones for parasitism after they reach adulthood.
Many clownfish are accidentally injured by anemones when they first live with them.
Xiang Yang's finger has an orange background, his back is dark, and there are two azure stripes behind his eyes. The beautiful clownfish said: "When I caught this clownfish, it had not reached a symbiotic relationship with the sea anemone. At that time, it was approaching cautiously. The tentacles on the giant sea anemone, as a result, the sea anemone moved, and it was poisoned to the bottom of the sea. If I happened to pass by, it would have been poisoned to death by the sea anemone."
Li Chao blinked, "Will clownfish be poisoned by sea anemones?"
Xu Yueban also looked incredible.
"Yes, the toxins of sea anemones are also useful to clownfish, and clownfish do not have the ability to be immune to sea anemones toxins." Xiang Yang affirmed.
"A clown fish is not immune to sea anemone toxins, so how does it achieve symbiosis with sea anemones?" Xu Yueban asked.
"A species secreted by the poisonous tentacles of sea anemones." Xiang Yang said.
The so-called poisonous things ~www.readwn.com~ There must be an antidote within seven steps.
The tentacles of the sea anemone are both highly poisonous and detoxifying.
The tentacles of the sea anemone can secrete an unknown substance, which can not only neutralize the toxins in the stinging cells of the poisonous tentacles, but also inhibit the ejection of stinging cells.
When the clownfish first came into contact with the sea anemone, they all needed to carefully touch the sea anemone’s poisonous tentacles and rub their bodies against the sea anemone’s poisonous tentacles so that their whole body was covered with the unknown substance secreted by the sea anemone’s poisonous tentacles.
When the clownfish is completely wrapped in that kind of unknown substance, it is the "owner" of the anemone. It no longer needs to be afraid that the poisonous tentacles of the anemone will stab itself, and can nest in the anemone with peace of mind. Multiply.
Of course, the bred little anemones will leave their parents immediately and live in the water layer as soon as they are hatched. They will not find new anemones until they reach adulthood to repeat the traditions left by their parents and continue to reach new anemones. Symbiotic relationship, and build nests in the sea anemone to reproduce the next generation.
