科学家在南极冰层下发现了复杂的鱼巢,揭示了隐藏的、复杂的生态系统。 Scientists found intricate fish nests under Antarctica’s ice, revealing a hidden, complex ecosystem.

2019年的探险发现欧内斯特·沙克顿爵士的失落船“耐力”号在南极洲冰架下发现了数千座鱼巢,揭示了黄公证人岩石形成的复杂的几何形态。 A 2019 expedition searching for Sir Ernest Shackleton’s lost ship, the Endurance, instead discovered thousands of fish nests beneath Antarctica’s ice shelf, revealing complex geometric patterns formed by yellow notie rockcod. 巢穴按群集、新月和线条排列, 建议协调行为, 可能是一种“自私的畜群”防御策略。 The nests, arranged in clusters, crescents, and lines, suggest coordinated behavior, possibly a "selfish herd" defense strategy. A68冰山的雕刻使得这一发现成为可能,它突显了Weddell海中以前未知的、生物多样化的生态系统,现在被指定为脆弱海洋生态系统。 The find, made possible by the calving of the A68 iceberg, highlights a previously unknown, biodiverse ecosystem in the Weddell Sea, now designated a Vulnerable Marine Ecosystem. 研究人员强调在气候变化和人类活动过程中保护这一隐蔽生境的重要性。 Researchers stress the importance of protecting this hidden habitat amid climate change and human activity.
