The most terrifying parasite, once entangled, will no longer separateand and the whale is one of the victims
In the bottomless ocean, there are all kinds of weird creatures, including parasites and underwater animals. Everyone's most familiar whale will jump high from the water every time, and then throw the huge body down heavily, it will splash a lot of waves and splashes. Even though this kind of landscape usually appears in the middle of the sea and we were not able to witness it with our own eyes, we can still clearly imagine the spectacular scene. Sometimes, their frequency is very high, and studies have found that they do this mainly to try to get rid of the parasitic organisms on them-barnacles. But the results are often unsatisfactory, let us see what caused the situation.
Barnacles are recognized as the most difficult parasites to get rid of in nature. Many animals are entangled by them and do not end well. This parasite belongs to the class of arthropods, distributed in the shallow waters of the oceans around the world. According to incomplete statistics, their family members are up to 600 species, the size is not large, the smallest is about 1 mm. In the survival process, it mainly relies on its own tentacles and swims through the flow of water, and mainly survives by eating small organic substances.
The most terrifying thing is the larvae, because in the months when the larvae grow, you must find a safe and reliable place to grow quietly. Under normal circumstances, as long as the surface is a hard shell, they will become the object of their patronage. After all, choose this one in the location, they have quite high requirements. The larvae of barnacles are mainly filtered seawater to obtain food, so only those locations with faster water flow can be selected, so that they can get enough food. Reefs and shells in the shallow sea. And human-driven ships, whales, turtles, etc. After sticking on, it was really a painful start.
Why can't you throw away these parasites? At the beginning of attachment, the best target is first selected through the antennae. After confirmation, a viscous liquid "barnacle gum" will be secreted. After a series of reactions, the liquid will gradually condense and become extremely powerful. Intensity, it will appear deadly adsorbed on marine animals.
Some people say that these animals do not have a skin change phenomenon, it is better to fall off by then? This is really a good idea. In order to adapt to this situation, the barnacle directly under the continuous evolution directly nailed this colloid layer deeply into the whale's skin. And will reproduce in large numbers. You talk about this is not terrible, has been cunning to this point. Of course, with the help of humans, it is possible to help remove these barnacles, but often the skin is also cut off together, which has to endure how much pain.
Then I don't know if you have noticed that the great white shark does not have this phenomenon, and the speed of the great white shark is also very fast. But don’t forget, the surface of the great white shark is protected by armor-like cortex, so they don’t have the opportunity to parasitize on the great white shark, otherwise they will be like a whale.
Of course, in addition to its interest in animals, human ships are not let go. Every year, humans have to salvage the ship and clean it up. If they are not cleaned in time, their large waves will cause metal corrosion. In severe cases, local penetration under the ship will be caused. Not only that, but it will also increase the weight of the boat, increase the forward resistance, and reduce the driving speed, which is a headache. It is worth mentioning that they are also delicious food in human mouths, and they have extremely high nutritional value, that is, they are lacking in the offshore, and they have to be picked from steep reefs in the distance, so their prices are relatively high.
