12月5日加利福尼亚州海岸外发生7.0级地震, 造成海浪扰乱内华达死亡谷的濒危魔鬼洞海豚的栖息地。 A 7.0 magnitude earthquake off California's coast on December 5 caused waves to disrupt the habitat of the endangered Devils Hole Pupfish in Death Valley, Nevada. 扰动可能摧毁了幼鱼卵,使食物不易获得。 The disturbance may have destroyed pupfish eggs and made food less accessible. 然而,官员们认为,从长远来看,对腐烂的有机物进行清理可有益于该物种。 However, officials believe that the cleanup of decaying organic matter could benefit the species in the long term. 生物学家正在评估情况,并规划如何支持已经面临地下水抽取和气候变化威胁的鱼类。 Biologists are assessing the situation and planning ways to support the fish, which already face threats from groundwater pumping and climate change.
