Isolated from the world for 50,000 years, there are at least 38 desert fish left, but they have been baptized by a "tsunami"
When an earthquake occurs in the ocean, energy is released when transverse and longitudinal waves travel to the bottom of the ocean. The result is a tsunami that shakes the sea and affects countries and regions around the coast. Desert and tsunami are two concepts that are not related to each other, but they have been combined with everything recently. According to the notice of the US National Park Service, a tsunami appeared in the Mojave Desert, with a maximum height of 1.2 meters. What exactly is going on? You are not mistaken or misheard. There was indeed a rare tsunami in a desert in the United States. At the highest point, the water waves reached 1.2 meters high. Fish, tsunamis and deserts don't match up by any means, but desert fish do exist, and "desert tsunamis" do happen. The Mojave Desert is located in the southeastern part of California, with an area of 65,000 kilometers and spans four states in the United States. Desert is synonymous with dryness, drought and little water. In this desert there is Death Valley, which is one of the hottest places in the United States and even the world. And in the Devil's Cave in Death Valley, not only desert fish but also a "desert tsunami" appeared.
Desert fish have been isolated from the world for 50,000 years
Desert fish, as the name suggests, is a fish that lives in the desert. A member of the genus medaka, all members of this species live in the Devil's Cave in Death Valley, USA, so they are often referred to as medaka. In fact, this kind of fish has been isolated from the world for 50,000 years. The existing desert fish are distributed in the Devil's Cave in Death Valley. In 2018, scientists counted the number of desert fish and found that all members of this species have a total of 38 are on the verge of extinction. It must be known that the wild number of my country's national treasure giant panda has exceeded 1,800, so this number of only 38 desert fish must be very precious. The living environment that these desert fish face is extremely harsh. Scientists believe that the size of the early desert fish is much larger than that of today. However, due to the change of the environment and the lack of food resources, the size of the current desert fish is too small, which can also reduce the size of the desert fish. energy intake. Although the overall number of this species is rare, it is also very tenacious. The water environment they live in is a saltwater world, which is all thanks to the salt water called "Manly Lake" located in Death Valley 500,000 years ago. lake. The vicissitudes of life and the changes in the world have brought about the collapse of the once saltwater lake, and eventually the rapid shrinkage of the area has reduced, and it has become the "small blisters" in today's Devil's Cave, and desert fish have lived in such a world for 50,000 years.Desert fish suffer from 'desert tsunami'
It is surprising to have fish in the desert, and just recently desert fish suffered a 'desert tsunami' "baptism. According to the US National Park Service, a few days ago, Mexico was hit by a 7.7-magnitude earthquake, which caused a tsunami in Devil's Cave, Death Valley, 2,400 kilometers away, with waves reaching 1.2 meters at the highest point. The desert fish lives in the "small blisters" where the tsunami occurs. At the time of the minimum number, there were only 38 desert fish, but under the protection of human beings, the number of desert fish has rebounded. As of March this year, the statistical data, The number of desert fish has reached 175. The living environment in Devil's Cave is already very difficult and dangerous. This time, the earthquake triggered a tsunami. The highest tsunami was 1.2 meters, which seriously damaged the living environment of desert fish. Sometimes there is no sunlight in the Devil's Cave, and it is difficult for sunlight to enter directly. Without sunlight, it means that photosynthesis cannot be carried out. The food resources of desert fish are naturally scarce. At the same time, the arrival of the tsunami will also take away most of the algae, which are the main food source of the desert fish. From this point of view, the arrival of the "desert tsunami" has a significant negative impact on the desert fish. What the specific situation is, it still needs follow-up detection by working personnel.Said in the end
Of course, this little setback will not wipe out the desert fish, but the impact will definitely be there, and the desert fish will face There are actually many threats. For example, the exploitation of groundwater by local residents is also affecting the water level in the Devil's Cave, which in turn affects the survival of desert fish. At present, the protection and treatment of desert fish has already been put on the agenda. Some animal protection agencies have established shelters in other places similar to the living environment in Devil's Cave, which can meet the survival needs of desert fish. At present, a total of three , but the transfer and treatment of adult fish has not been carried out, mainly for transfer and hatching of some fish eggs. Each species is a very important biological resource. Although there are only more than 100 desert fish left, we must believe in the tenacious vitality of this animal.
