major discovery!For the first time in Dalian, freshwater "living fossils": Peach Blossom Jellyfish

On August 17, according to CCTV reports, a large number of peach blossom jellyfish appeared in a artificial fish pond in the Jinpu New District in Dalian. Peach blossom jellyfish had high requirements for water quality and very rare living body. Essence "Liaoning Dalian discovered the first discovery of Taohua jellyfish" also appeared on Weibo hot search, which caused heated discussion among netizens. The Marine Biological Research Institute of Dalian Shengya Tourism Holdings Co., Ltd. attached great importance to it, and sent a number of researchers to the water area near Longkou Reservoir, Dalian Jinpu New District. Research and protection operations.

On the afternoon of August 17th, the team of Dalian San Ya Marine Biological Research Institute and the engineer of Zhang Sai Sai, Zhang Sai Sai, and Chen Wenbo senior engineer of Dalian Modern Agricultural Production Development Service Center jointly identified: Meridity biology technical testing, the results of the two gene mark sites show that The two -stage gene sequences discovered by the peach blossoms and the corresponding sources of the corresponding sources of the corresponding region of the CRASPEDACUCUCusta Sowerbii Lankester (1880) were as high as 99%, so they believed that the Suo Taohua jellyfish appeared in Dalian this time.

These creatures are rare "peach blossoms" and are known as "ecological inspectors in the water". This kind of creature usually lives in clean rivers and lakes. It has high requirements for water quality and very rare living body. It is known as "giant panda in the water". According to information, peach blossom jellyfish is a primitive creature, which was first born about 550 million years ago. Its survival has high requirements for water quality and water temperature. Only when the conditions are suitable, the dormant peach blossom jellyfish will wake up and reproduce, which is a veritable "living fossil". Taohua jellyfish records the development of the earth's life with her own unique life, and its unique genes are of great value for the study of modern genetic engineering.

As the earliest group in the country to carry out marine wildlife rescue and protection, Liaoning Province Aquatic Wildlife Rescue Center has always regarded "protecting biodiversity" as an important mission for 27 years. Seal, turtles, pork nose turtles (freshwater), melon whale and other national aquatic wildlife protection actions, apply the nation's leading aquatic biotechnology to complete each rescue and protection task. Dalian Sanya Marine Biological Research Institute will continue to carry out in -depth research of aquatic bioscience, strengthen and establish an effective protection system, and for the protection of biodiversity protection, maintenance species and genetic diversity, and realize the beautiful vision of "harmonious symbiosis of nature" as soon as possible Contribute.
