My Deep-sea Fishery

"There are almost no birds in the Antarctic that are not protected animals." Xiang Yang had no good airways.

According to the Antarctic Animal Protection Treaty, all birds in Antarctica, including bird eggs, are absolutely prohibited from being captured by humans.

Fang Youqun's face suddenly collapsed when he heard it, "I finally met an albatross in the water, but I didn't expect it to be an animal protection."

"Why? Do you think you can catch it if it is in the water? When you swim over, it will take off differently?" A crew member who usually has a good relationship with Fang Youqun smiled.

Xiang Yang's heart moved, and suddenly he said, "Don't say, if this wandering albatross is not a protective animal, we might really be able to catch it."

"Yes, although albatross are master gliders and stay in the air for several hours without fanning their wings, they need headwinds to take off. When there is no headwind, they can only take off from the edge of the cliff by approaching. When there is no wind and no cliffs, the wandering albatross can't fly his heavy body at all, and can only float on the sea like a normal duck." Chen Qingsheng also nodded in agreement.

"Not so much."

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "Even on the sea, the wandering albatross is still more agile than ordinary ducks."

"As far as I know, wandering albatross mainly hunts for food on the sea, and sometimes goes to the bottom of the water." Xiang Yang said.

Wandering albatross is different from ordinary albatross. In addition to being a world-renowned gliding master, it is also an excellent diving master.

Wandering albatross is very good at diving, and can easily drill to more than ten meters deep under the sea to prey on some fish and shrimps on the seabed.

However, wandering albatross generally forages at night, because at night, many marine organisms will float on the water.

"If you can fly, you can dive?" Fang Youqun asked in surprise.

Xiang Yang smiled and nodded.

Fang Youqun looked around, and suddenly wondered: "Hey, that's not right, Brother Yang, there are no islands around us. What if this wandering albatross wants to drink water? Is it possible that it can't interact with the sea?"

"Why not?" Xiang Yang asked rhetorically.

"Ah? Isn't it common sense that sea water can't be drunk?" Fang Youqun asked strangely.

Xiang Yang smiled and said, "What you said is an attempt by humans, and it does not apply to animals and plants."

"So, can this wandering albatross drink sea water to quench his thirst?" Fang Youqun asked in surprise.

"Yes, like most birds, wandering albatross can drink sea water and quench thirst with sea water." Xiang Yang nodded.

"The wandering albatross has a peculiar stomach. It can not only quench thirst by drinking sea water, but also change the type of food according to the changes in the weather."

"Can fly, dive, and drink sea water to quench thirst, then this bird is not invincible? Why is it still a protected animal?" Fang Youqun stared.

Xiang Yang sighed, "God is fair. Although the albatross' ability to survive is strong, but the reproductive ability is extremely low. It takes at least ten-year-old albatross to have the ability to reproduce, and they only lay one egg at a time."

When albatross breeds, they will land in groups on islands far away from the mainland.

At the beginning of the breeding period, the male wandering albatross will fly to the breeding ground first, waiting for the female bird to come over.

When the breeding ground is full of albatross, the wandering albatross will perform wings and beak pecking performances. The male wandering albatross keeps singing the "cuckoo" song, and at the same time, the female wandering albatross is very gentlemanly. Bend down and bowed.

When hatching the eggs, the male wandering albatross and the female wandering albatross will work together.

The female bird is generally responsible for hatching eggs, while the male bird is responsible for guards and sometimes rotates and divides labor.

During the period when no offspring is being reproduced, the wandering albatross will fly aimlessly over the sea.

For the newly hatched chicks, the adult birds are mainly fed at the beginning, which is similar to sparrows and swallows, and many people have seen them.

When the small albatross grows feathers, the main task of the adult bird becomes nursing.

About twenty days after the birth of the little albatross, the nursing period ends, and the little albatross basically needs to survive on its own. During this period, many little albatrosses are often eliminated.

However, some biologists have discovered that some adult birds will fly back to the breeding grounds every week after the nursing period is over, and sometimes they will bring some food to the small albatross in the breeding grounds.

Biologists have found that those small albatross who can still be taken care of by adults after the end of the nursing period have a higher elimination rate than those who are not cared for by adults.

It is also worth mentioning that wandering albatross is very loyal to love. Once a spouse is established, they usually live together until the other party dies.

"The habitat of albatross is the ocean, they behave very docilely on the shore, so many albatross are also commonly known as dull gulls or dumb birds." Xiang Yang said with a smile.

Albatross are mainly distributed in the southern hemisphere, and a few live in the North Pacific and the equatorial zone.

The distribution of albatross is very obvious, which is related to the influence of wind on the ocean belt between Antarctica and South America, Africa and the southern tip of Australia.

The largest number of individuals and species are concentrated at 45-70° south latitude, but they also reproduce in temperate waters of the southern hemisphere, while a few species are distributed in the North Pacific Ocean.

The Galapagos Islands and La Plata off the coast of Ecuador, the Canadian albatross breeds at the equator, where the climate is affected by the cold Humboldt Current.

Once, UU read www.uukānshu. Com has a black-backed albatross that breeds in North America, but it was not enough. Later, because it affected the take-off of US military planes, it was wiped out by American soldiers.

At present, among all the albatross, the most precious is the black-footed albatross.

The black-footed albatross body is similar to the short-tailed albatross. It can grow up to 80 cm in length and weigh more than one kilogram. The head feathers have hanging white feathers. The eyes and throat are gray and white. The rest of the body is mostly dark brown. The upper tail and feathers are white with black spots, and the uncle feathers under the tail also have black spots, and the abdomen is pure white.

The difference between the black-footed albatross and the short-tailed albatross is the dark color of the mouth and feet, and the population of this kind of albatross is very rare.

Moreover, black-footed albatross likes to follow ships to find waste, and often eat industrial waste and then die. It has been listed in the "Nationally Protected Beneficial or Something" issued by the State Forestry Administration on August 1, 2000. In the "List of Terrestrial Wild Animals of Important Economic and Scientific Research Value", it is a very precious bird.

The wandering albatross, among all the albatross species, is second only to the black-footed albatross in preciousness.
