科罗拉多野生动物管理局加紧努力,在科罗拉多河寻找和控制对本地生态系统和供水构成威胁的入侵斑马贝类来源。 Wildlife authorities in Colorado intensify efforts to locate and control the source of invasive zebra mussels in the Colorado River, which pose risks to native ecosystems and water supply.
科罗拉多野生动物专家正在加紧努力,寻找和控制在科罗拉多河Grand Junction附近发现的入侵斑马贝贝类的来源。 Wildlife experts in Colorado are intensifying efforts to locate and control the source of invasive zebra mussels discovered in the Colorado River near Grand Junction. 可能会损害当地水生生态系统、破坏供水和破坏灌溉设备的贝贝很可能是通过船只引进的。 The mussels, which can harm native aquatic ecosystems, disrupt water supplies, and damage irrigation equipment, were likely introduced through boats. 当局担心这些鱼类对河流食物链的影响,因为它们食用浮游生物等小型水生猎物,与鱼类争夺食物来源。 Authorities are concerned about their impact on the river's food chain, as they consume small aquatic prey like plankton, competing with fish for food sources. 为了防止进一步蔓延,野生动物机构正在跟踪船只,要求船夫在进入新水域之前,必须清洗、排水和干燥他们的水工具。 To prevent further spread, wildlife agencies are tracking boats and requiring boaters to clean, drain, and dry their watercraft before entering new bodies of water.
