一部稀有的巨型幽灵水母 在阿根廷深海探险期间被拍摄 揭示出一个富饶的新发现的生态系统 有28个潜在的新物种 以及污染迹象 A rare giant phantom jellyfish was filmed during an Argentinian deep-sea expedition, revealing a rich, newly discovered ecosystem with 28 potential new species and signs of pollution.

一部稀有的巨型幽灵水母在阿根廷牵头的阿根廷沿海深海考察中拍摄,揭示出一个出乎意料的丰富生态系统。 A rare giant phantom jellyfish was filmed during an Argentinian-led deep-sea expedition off Argentina’s coast, revealing an unexpectedly rich ecosystem. 该任务同样使用搭载于福尔科号的遥控潜水器SuBastian，发现了一个巨大的巴西利亚（Bathelia candida）珊瑚礁——比梵蒂冈城还大——远在其已知分布范围以南，以及28种潜在的新物种，一只深水鲸鱼坠落在水面下近4公里处，以及一个活跃的冷渗漏。 The mission, using the ROV SuBastian aboard the Falkor (too), discovered a massive Bathelia candida coral reef—larger than Vatican City—far south of its known range, along with 28 potentially new species, a deep-water whale fall nearly 4 kilometers below the surface, and an active cold seep. 研究人员还观察到水母附近有幼鱼,其直径可达1米、臂宽可达10米。 Researchers also observed juvenile fish near the jellyfish, which can reach 1 meter in bell diameter and 10 meters in arm span. 尽管位置偏远,但还是发现了包括塑料和VHS胶带在内的人类残块,凸显出广泛的污染。 Despite the remote location, human debris including plastic and a VHS tape was found, highlighting widespread pollution. 科学家们强调这些深海生境的脆弱性和生物多样性,敦促为保护脆弱海洋生态系统作出养护努力。 Scientists emphasized the fragility and biodiversity of these deep-sea habitats, urging conservation efforts to protect vulnerable marine ecosystems.
