对于礁石水族馆的爱好,尤其是菲律宾的礁鱼发现,这是繁忙的一年。菲律宾是水族馆贸易观赏鱼类的最大单一出口商。拥有近1亿人口的人口,您会认为到现在,菲律宾将耗尽任何重礁鱼类惊喜。
但是这个国家是由7,000多个岛屿组成的,这些岛屿赋予了世界的这一地区,拥有各种各样的栖息地,肯定还有很多东西可以发现。在这个日历年中,我们仍然有几个月的时间,但是我们已经目睹了一些非常有趣的新鱼类和行为,并从珊瑚三角的这个独特部分中记录下来。
1.大量鱼类迁移–We were invited to explore the reefs on the western edge of the Philippines. While searching for corals we came across a truly magical underwater sight, the likes of which we’ve never seen, and which is still unexplained.
2.普通话猫鲨–We really try to focus on suitable reef fish and corals for the home aquarium so sharks usually take a back seat to our writing. But the collective aquarium world was shocked when a small shark species was discovered with the pattern of a mandarin goby and a small adult size.
3.Helfrich’s Firefish–Finding a Helfrich firefish in the Northern Philippines was exciting enough. But we are even more excited about what other types of fish喜欢赫尔夫里奇(Helfrich)可能尚未躺在菲律宾珊瑚三角的一些更深层次的礁石环境中。
4.Moyer’s leopard wrasse–巨噬细胞Moyerirepresents a typically Japanese reef fish. Finding this species in the Philippines is a hint that we may yet be able to find a lot more Japanese reef fish in the Northern Philippines.
5.人字形唐斯–If the Moyer’s leopard wrasse represents what Japanese fish may be found in the Philippines, the Chevron tang represent the tip of the iceberg for what Pacific Ocean reef fish may also be found in this part of the world.
