世界各地散布着少数鱼类和珊瑚强国,每个人都有特殊的利基市场和能力负责采购一些爱好最受欢迎的人。最近,在我们欧洲的小巡回演出中,我们被一个这样的机构挥舞着,臭名昭著的手艺,并充满了赞美之歌。一家人经营的钟海军陆战队是稀有鱼市场的天国国王之一,我们的旅程当然并没有令人失望。
De Jong marine is a family run corporation. Taken over by managing director Arie De Jong back in 1982, it has since grown to become Europe’s leading distributor of marine life. While specialising primarily in the supply of large sharks, rays and fish to public aquariums, De Jong marine has earned a reputation unsurpassed by many as a source for rare ornamental fish. Indeed, their namesake precedes them even in the scientific community, with their exclusively signatureGramma Dejongibeing named after Arie.
该设施位于荷兰,距离我们以前所在的德国大约一两个小时的车程。办公室入口之外还有适当的设施,在该设施中,珊瑚和鱼被收到,持有和重新出口。该机构整洁,修剪整齐,非常有条理。有趣的是,它以一种相当奇怪但难以形容的方式设计。当您第一次走进时,您会感觉到Déjàvu。也许它广泛使用了闪亮的白色瓷砖和强烈的LED,使该地方具有相当医院的感觉。
珊瑚s are held in two long raceways running parallel to each other, while fish are held in compartmentalised tanks stacked up neatly and arranged in rows, almost in a shelf like manner. The photos above helps to depict this thought. If you’re a sufferer of OCD, this place is a heavenly blend of straight lines and sections, compartments and rectangles.
De Jong Marine在公共水族馆领域进行了严重的交易,为大型弹性碎和鱼提供了广泛的住房区域。这些动物的高生物负荷以及对严格水质的需求,这意味着该设施需要重型过滤,灭菌和整体水化学管理。该设施后部的过滤部分装有许多工业尺寸的蛋白质分馏剂,消毒器和其他复杂外观的设备,其目的是非常坦率的;我不知道。
我不是一个设备迷或管道狂热者,所以这部分巡回赛对我来说是相当不受欢迎的。另一方面,鱼让我开心,我确实对看到的东西感到非常高兴。
The main holding room for export houses 95% of livestock, and here a mixture of common to rare species adorn the neatly arranged rows of tanks.Chaetodon selene在爱好中是一个相当稀有和陌生的物种。这条美丽的鱼与Chaetodon Gardineri和C. leucopleura,但其设计更加珍珠化,并且频率较低。C. seleneis not abundant in the wild as well, but can sometimes be seen swimming either solitarily or in pairs above rubble slopes.
希望工程r species likeParacheilinus attenuatus和预后Marcellaeare rather common fare, but the truly scintillating species that De Jong is so well known for however are not kept here. To see those we had to take a ten minute walk into a separate building, far away from the eyes of the public and away from the more pedestrian species.
如果没有至少看到荒谬Gramma Dejongi, a basslet so beautiful and high on the bucket list of many. WhileGramma Dejongi零星可用的价格为数千美元,由于以前与古巴的禁运,它没有渗透到美国市场。与之存在lifted和out of the way, perhaps this species may one day finally touch American soil.G. dejongi已经谈论过不已在鼎盛时期,虽然没有什么新鲜的涵盖,但总能看到这只真正美丽的鱼的新照片总是很高兴的。
一对和一个孤独的标本G. dejongi被安置在这个僻静的房间里,我们仍然不确定这是否只是一个快乐的巧合,但似乎G. dejongi可能是性二分法的。在上面的一对中,很明显,较大的标本更丰富,可以朝着深落日而不是后面的柠檬色。其他稀有性包括Armitagei Anvish Hybrid和一组Pseudanthias connelli.
安置在冷水中的一对Callanthias Japonicus, along withSacura margaritacea和Caprodon schlegelii.Callanthias Japonicusis a gorgeous anthiine found in the deep cold waters of Japan, and is rarely offered for the consumer market. A popular candidate for cold water Japanese biotopes, C.Japonicusis more often seen in public aquariums than home hobbyists. InC. Japonicus,雄性总体上是深铬黄色至杏,腹鳍和颈背上有粉红色的虹彩。Callanthias深度且大,有圆形的鳍和丝状尾鳍。
它们保持在16℃(60F)的寒冷温度下,这使观看和摄影非常麻烦,因为水族馆玻璃的持续冷凝和雾化。由于它们的大小和对冷水的偏爱,这种物种通常不经常被私下显示。仍然,C. Japonicusremains one of the most beautiful anthiines of its region, surpassing even the candy colouredTosanoides.
能够看到其中一些标本并参观该设施是一种享受,而De Jong Marine确实是一个值得其头衔的专业且修剪整齐的设施。非常感谢Arie,Thomas和Louella de Jong的热情款待和巡回演出。
