This sea area of Wenzhou found national secondary protection animals!

A few days ago, there were many new records of reef coral coral southern sugar waters in Nanji Dasha, Fire Capites, and Chaoyu, Pingyang County, all of which are national secondary protection animals. This discovery has proved that Nanji has an excellent ecological environment and rich biodiversity. It is a marine biological gene library with north -south biological characteristics.

According to morphological analysis and gene sequencing identification, the found reef corals discovered this time are the OULASTREA CRISPATA, the Deltocyus Lens, and the wrinkled folding gyroscope coral. What is reef coral? As the name suggests, the coral can form coral reefs and even coral islands. Compared with non -reef corals, this coral has a narrow range of life and has high requirements for the growth environment. Its best growth temperature is 20-28 ° C, and the best salinity is 34-37 ‰. In addition, it also needs to supplement the conditions such as good sea flow and waves, low nutrient salts, low-sediment environments, and stable bottom quality.

"As early as 2007, Nanji discovered reef coral for the first time, but limited to the technical level and conditions at that time, only a small piece of reef coral was found on a base rock at low tide, and it was not set." Wenzhou Ecological Environment Bureau Pingyang According to the relevant person in charge of the branch bureau, the coral reef ecosystem is known as the underwater "tropical rain forest" and is one of the world's most productive and biodiversity ecosystems. my country's coral reefs are mainly distributed in South China, the coast of Taiwan and Hainan Island and Hainan Island and Hainan Island and Hainan Island and Hainan Island and Hainan Island and Hainan Island and Hainan Island. The islands of the South China Sea, Guangdong Daya Bay and Dongshan, Fujian. The reef corals discovered by the Nanji Sea this time are also the first discovery of the species at the northernmost tip of my country's latitude, which further expands the distribution of reef corals in my country.

It is reported that the Pingyang Branch of the Wenzhou Ecological and Environment Bureau was discovered this time when the Nanji Dasha, Huoji, and Chaiyu were implemented in the Nanji Islands Ecosystem Research Project in Pingyang County. This survey is a relatively comprehensive, scientific and accurate underwater ecosystem census. The survey scope covers the tide area and shallow water area of ​​the tide area of ​​the Nanji Sea. Submarine photography includes morphological analysis and gene sequencing.
