What does a desert fish look like? How is it different from ordinary fish?

You must know that in North America there is a place called Death Valley, which is a hot and dry place, but there is a natural cave in Death Valley, called Devil's Cave, this natural cave is connected to an underground river, although it is called Devil's Cave, but there are still many creatures living in it, when people first came to Devil's Cave, they found a very peculiar fish.

After people's research and analysis, it turns out that this fish is a new species, biologists call it desert fish, desert fish has evolved alone in this place for tens of thousands of years, because of the closed environment, so desert fish has very peculiar physiological characteristics, which also makes desert fish a very rare species, you must know that fish need to breathe underwater, if the oxygen is not enough, the fish will come to the surface to breathe.

But desert fish is the opposite, due to the lack of oxygen in the devil's hole, so the desert fish has evolved to fully adapt to the anoxic environment or even the anaerobic environment, if there is too much oxygen in the water, the desert fish will die of oxygen poisoning, this rare species from the day it was found only more than 300, the initial local people did not have a sense of protection, after 2000 the number of desert fish has been less than 50.

Due to the large amount of human use of groundwater, the water level of the Devil's Cave has dropped, bringing damage to the living environment of desert fish, so ecological protection organizations have tried to help desert fish, they have established a local protection park, and at the same time built a desert fish shelter, but only let the number of desert fish continue to decline, desert fish after human intervention, their living habits have changed.

From this point of view, there is an essential difference between wild desert fish and protected desert fish, some people have suggested that desert fish should be moved to other places, but after research, it has been found that this method is completely unworkable, because of the anaerobic characteristics of desert fish, and they live in closed areas for a long time, there are no natural enemies at all, if desert fish come to the complex aquatic environment, it is estimated that it will not take two days to become extinct.

Desert fish are fish that live in places where there is water in the desert, and the difference between them and ordinary fish is that their bodies are transparent, and they are relatively small, and their eyes have degenerated.

The desert fish is an endangered species of fish that lives on rare sources of water in the desert. This fish is relatively small, and it is flexible in size, brain, and behavior. It differs from ordinary fish in that it is phenotypically plastic.

It is that once its habitat changes, the phenotypic characteristics will also change.

Desert fish are endangered species of fish that live in the desert, are small and inhabit the Devil's Cave in Death Valley, but the oxygen content of the water in the Devil's Cave is extremely low, and the desert fish is also endangered due to the depletion of groundwater resources.

The desert fish is an endangered species of fish that is relatively small in a small pool in Death Valley where all of its populations live. Compared with ordinary fish, desert fish are anaerobic, and if desert fish come to a complex aquatic environment, it is estimated that it will become extinct in less than two days.

As the title suggests, devils hole pupfish and desert fish are scientific names.

Cyprinodontidae medaka fish.

The picture below shows Medaka cyprinodon diabolis

It is very small, with a maximum body length of about 3 cm, and only survives in the "Devil's Hole" in Nevada, USA, and is classified as critically endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature. It is one of the smallest species in habitat of all wild vertebrates. In the spring of 2013, the medaka population plummeted to an unprecedented level, with only 35 fish on the verge of extinction.

Recently, the fish were counted and it is believed that the number has rebounded a bit.

The medaka lives in a limestone cave in a hot spring pool called Devil's Cave, 60 miles east of Death Valley National Park. Geographers estimate that the hole is at least 130 meters deep and has been formed 500,000 years ago. These fish have been in this cave for no more than 50,000 years, and 50,000 years ago may have been due to **, the top of the cave collapsed, exposing it and the water inside.

The water in the Devil's Cave is oxygen-deprived and maintains a temperature of Celsius, which is the upper limit of what most fish can tolerate.

The desert fish bai is its scientific name. du

It is an endangered fish species because its survival is entirely dependent on the environment: a rare source of water in the desert is Rong.

It is necessary for its survival. The habitat of all populations is in a small pool in Death Valley. Because groundwater resources are depleted and on the verge of extinction. Desert fish are a relatively small type of fish.

Living in the dead swamp "Death Valley", which is still the lowest, driest and hottest region of North America, the desert fish is flexible in size, brain and behavior, and its development is greatly influenced by the environment in its early years.

This flexibility is called phenotypic plasticity, and it plays a key role in the formation of phenotypic diversity in desert fish. The formation of some special phenotypes depends on their particular habitat, and once the habitat changes, the phenotypic characteristics also change.

Desert fish is the scientific name, an endangered fish species that depends entirely on the environment for its survival, and the rare water source in the desert is necessary for its survival.

There are also fish in the desert, for example, there are fish in the Badain Jaran Desert, which is famous in our country.

Badain Jaran Desert is located in the north of Alxa Right Banner in Inner Mongolia Autonomous Region of China, covering an area of 10,000 square kilometers.

There are 113 lakes dotted in this desert, among them, there are 74 lakes with water all year round, 12 freshwater lakes, the lakes are full of reeds, water birds frolicking, and the fish fly to the shallow bottom, enjoying the reputation of "Mobei Jiangnan".

Are there still fish in the desert? The "desert fish" have been struggling in the desert for 50,000 years, which is nothing short of a miracle.

Desert Fish As the name suggests, many people think, "How can there be fish in a drought, water-scarce desert?" However, there is a species of fish called desert fish that does live in the desert. It is amazing that their behaviour is not controlled by the environment, and they are looking for suitable living space in the arid desert.

Many of us have ornamental fish, the species of fish is also very large, in our country there is a kind of fish living in the desert, many people think it is incredible, and it is difficult for us humans to survive in the vast desert, let alone fish that rely on water very much.

The world is so big that there are no surprises, and we can always find some strange people and phenomena around us. In order to pursue spiritual enjoyment, many friends will also choose to travel to relax. During our travels, we often find that there are very strange phenomena or things in some corners of the outside world.

Traveling can not only broaden one's horizons, but also increase one's knowledge, if you have not been out of the house, you will not be able to understand the magic of the outside world.

We will all be very puzzled, the desert is so hot and dry, generally only drought-tolerant plants such as cacti and poplar can survive, and other things are difficult to survive, what about fish in the desert? But this world is so magical, in a desert in North America, there is precisely a fish called "desert fish" that survives, and they can still be alive and jumping.

According to the documentary, we can find a region in North America called "Death Valley", which is one of the lowest, hottest and driest regions in North America. There is a deep cave in Death Valley, and there is a very small pool with a little bit of water in it, and these desert fish live in it.

As we can see from the documentary, due to the harsh environment, the reminder of desert fish is very small, only the size of an adult's fingernail. Some experts estimate that these fish have been breeding in this cave for more than 50,000 years, probably because there was ** 50,000 years ago, the top of the cave collapsed, and these fish were trapped in this devil's cave for generations to breed.

But the bad news is that these desert fish will be endangered, it is said that the water in the devil's cave is very oxygen-deficient, the water temperature is around 33 to 35 degrees all year round, although the temperature is high, but the survival of these desert fish depends on the water resources in this cave, and the water resources are also depleted little by little, and will be on the verge of extinction. Although in order to protect this rare species, experts specially built three identical devil's cave environments in the desert and put fish into them to breed, but later found that the desert fish in the artificial environment are very different from the size of the natural environment.

Recall that this fish, which has been breeding in caves for more than 50,000 years, is now endangered. I don't know what you think differently about this desert fish?

Fish in the desert too? Not only did they live for tens of thousands of years! You can't imagine the tenacity of vitality.

Because there are oases in the desert, and there are desert fish that can only survive in the desert, there will be fish in the desert.

Because there are oases in the desert, and where there are oases, there is water, and there are fish in the water.

In the desert, there are underground springs and underground rivers, which are generally relatively small in scale, or formed by melting snow water flowing into the desert.

Due to the mischief of gravity, the terrain began to become uneven in that rocky place, which continued until the Ice Age. The Ice Age with obsessive-compulsive disorder followed the footsteps of time to the earth and found that it was really uncomfortable to find a place here that was so uneven. As a result, it attracted a lot of water, flooding the low-lying places and turning them into a lake.

Seeing the slightly flattened ground filled with water, the Ice Age left satisfied. Over time, the place that had been mischievous by gravity and filled with water by the Ice Age gradually evaporated due to the dry climate, and the rest of the world around it became a desert, forming what we call the American Death Valley today. Nature also favored this magical place when Death Valley was formed, and it sowed the seeds of fish in this place, which are what we call the magical desert fish today.

In fact, the name desert fish does not mean that this fish lives in the sand, but because they live in a small waterhole in the desert, they are named after the characteristics of the living environment. Desert fish are very flexible fish, they are also very adaptable to the environment, but when they adapt to an environment, it is difficult to change their own situation. This small waterhole in the Devil's Cave is also the only habitat of desert fish in this vast desert, but it is also the tallest of the shorts, and the habitat of desert fish is too harsh compared to other fish.

The only small pond they can live in is at 33 degrees Celsius all year round, which is very close to the temperature of water that humans wash their faces and hands in winter, which is indeed not suitable for fish to survive, and the oxygen content is also very low. It was in this harsh environment that the ancestors of the desert fish slowly evolved into the desert fish they are today.

Although this environment is not suitable for fish, it is not difficult to create in the human world, since desert fish can only live in such a fragile environment, such as putting them at home for artificial farming. No, because as we said earlier, although desert fish have a strong ability to adapt to the environment, it is difficult for them to change their status quo when they adapt to the environment, which means that if humans create a similar environment for desert fish, desert fish will not be able to adapt.

No, the desert fish is a fish that lives in small pools in the desert, with tenacious vitality and does not live in the sand.

No, desert fish are fish in the water near the desert where they live, not new fish.

Desert fish are not supposed to be new fish living in the sand, but in a small waterhole in the Devil's Cave in the desert, which is now on the verge of extinction.

No, desert fish refers to fish that live in small ponds in the desert, not fish that live in sand.

The desert fish is not a new fish in the sand, but a fish that lives in the desert oases where there are few surfaces, and this fish can only live in the water.

Desert fish do not live in the sand, they live in a small waterhole in the desert, they live in the swamp "Death Valley", because of the environment in which they live, they are called desert fish, and the desert fish is now endangered.

No, desert fish are the product of plate movements, they live in small pools in the desert, and they are called desert fish because of the characteristics of the living environment.

Desert fish are new fish that evolve according to changes in the desert environment, and if the environment continues to change in the future, the desert fish may continue to change with the environment.
