鲸鱼每年从喂养地向繁殖地运输4 000吨氮,每次研究都帮助珊瑚和浮游生物。 Whales transport 4,000 tons of nitrogen yearly from feeding grounds to breeding sites, aiding coral and plankton, per study.

一项新的研究表明,鲸鱼从富营养的喂养地迁移到低营养的育种区,如夏威夷,在那里,鲸鱼通过废物释放重要的养分。 A new study shows that whales migrate from nutrient-rich feeding grounds to low-nutrient breeding areas, like Hawaii, where they release vital nutrients through their waste. 这个过程每年运输约4 000吨氮,有利于珊瑚礁和浮游植物的生长,有助于吸收碳和产生氧气。 This process transports about 4,000 tons of nitrogen annually, benefiting coral reefs and phytoplankton growth, which helps absorb carbon and produce oxygen. 这项研究突出强调了鲸鱼在维护健康的海洋生态系统方面发挥的关键作用。 The study highlights the crucial role whales play in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems.
