What is the outcome of the whale other than the whale fall?

This sentence is used to describe whales, whales are the largest creatures in the world, it can add a touch of style to the ecological environment in the ocean when it dies, but there are pros and cons to everything, some whales often release a lot of odor after death, which is compared to "natural **" by humans, why do you say that? We have the impression that whales are extremely gentle creatures.

After the normal whale dies because of age, it will slowly sink into the sea, until it sinks into the sea, this process is called whale fall, a whale corpse can make the entire circulation system of the seabed for hundreds of years, it can be seen that whales can contribute to the life in the ocean after death, and there are dozens of kinds of creatures in the ocean that rely on the fall of whales to survive.

The fall of the whale is divided into multiple stages, first of all, the first stage, it is also slowly in the sinking stage, in the process of sinking will encounter a lot of other creatures, these creatures know that after the whale dies, they will gnaw on the surface of the whale, some whales will be in the process, eaten by other animals, about 93% are eaten by creatures.

The second stage is still in the process of falling, as its name suggests, in the first process, a large amount of the whale's flesh is eaten by other animals, using the remains of the whale in the second stage, becoming a large home for some creatures, and even being able to continue living on the remains, some bacteria will burrow into the whale's remains, and the whale's bones contain a large amount of substance, which can provide energy for the bacteria.

When its body and wreckage are occupied by other creatures, it slowly sinks to the bottom of the sea and becomes a big family of some weak animals, but this is only the benefit of whale fall, there is another aspect that makes many people extremely frightened, if it does not sink to the bottom of the sea, but floats in the sea, stranded on the seashore After a long period of sun exposure and the action of various microorganisms, its appearance will become a "sphere", which contains a large amount of methane gas, once the whale **, its power is more powerful than the bomb, whale** Hundreds of meters away are the remnants of whale blood.

In 1970, the United States found a dead whale, it was washed by the waves to the beach, in the process of its body continued to expand and become larger, scientists had to use bombs to blast the whale, otherwise the consequences are difficult to imagine, from this we can see that any creature in nature has its own ability, even after death can benefit other creatures. If we encounter a whale stranding, we must be cautious and never touch it casually, otherwise once it is **, the consequences will be unimaginable. I don't know what you think about the death of whales after reading this article?

After some whales die, they are washed into the shore by the sea water and stranded, and that kind of biochemical ** becomes a kind of "biochemical **", which stinks and may even endanger humans.

In addition to whale falls, whale carcasses float with the sea to land. The most serious ones are the whales that exploded and died. He produces a very smelly gas that affects the environment.

It can also be carried ashore by the sea and turned into a bomb-like corpse. After the whale washes ashore, many bacteria will break down the whale's fat and other substances, and under closed conditions, the products of anaerobic bacteria will turn the whale carcass into a bomb.

There is also being captured by humans. Japan has a tradition of whaling, and it is cruel to catch a large number of whales every year.

Whale fall, that is, after the whale dies and falls into the seabed to form a small ecosystem, after the whale dies and falls to the bottom of the sea, the soft tissues on his body will be eaten by large underwater creatures, and slowly only bones remain, don't underestimate the bones, this is an oasis of life under the sea, these bones will be decomposed by microorganisms on the seabed, and the chemicals produced by decomposition will be provided by many seabed organisms to maintain life, and this process can last for decades or even hundreds of years, becoming one of the most important ecological chains of seabed organisms.

<> according to scientists' estimates, in the past, there were more than 700,000 whale falls at any time, and the distance between whale falls and whale falls is no more than 12 kilometers, which is the best springboard for the migration of underwater organisms.

But now there are fewer and fewer whale falls on the bottom of the sea, and our country has just discovered one in the South China Sea.

So why are there fewer whale falls? The root cause is that the number of whales is decreasing, and the natural activities of humans have affected the living space of whales, and the overall number of whale species has even decreased to double digits.

The survival situation of whales is very worrying, and we often see some whales stranding en masse, because their navigation system is problematic due to human activities.

After some whales died, we dissected and found that they had a large number of plastic bags in their bodies, and human pollution had invaded the ocean.

There are also countries that hunt whales on a large scale, which is also one of the reasons for the sharp decline in whale populations.

The decline in the number of whales due to the destruction of nature is the root cause of the decreasing number of whale falls!

When whales die, they sink to the bottom of the sea.

First of all, the carcass of the whale will be eaten by sharks, lobsters, hagfish and other scavengers within a year or two after death, and when the large pieces of meat have been eaten, the remaining small pieces of meat will be eaten by polychaetes, crustaceans, and this stage has lasted for more than ten years.

Then the whale carcass is only left with bones, although large creatures do not eat bones, but whale bones are the best food for decomposers such as thiophiles, and it will produce a large amount of hydrogen sulfide in the process of decomposing whale carcasses, which will also attract a lot of shells and clams, and this stage needs to last ten to a hundred years, and even if all the whale carcasses have been eaten up, its remaining bones can provide shelter for many animals.

Whales

Of all marine mammals, cetaceans (whales and dolphins) are the most adaptable to the marine environment and have evolved to the point where they do not need to return to shore to nurse their offspring like other marine mammals.

Mammals are a group of organisms that evolved on land, but there is a branch of this group that is not satisfied with land, and that is marine mammals, which choose to return to the ocean.

Due to the size of cetaceans and dolphins, blue whales are considered to be the largest animals ever built on Earth, and they are completely unable to return to land, and if they stay on land, they will be crushed to death by their own body weight.

Why do whales strand? There are often reports of whale stranding in the news, as a behemoth, what is the reason for whale stranding?

Whale falls because whales drown when they are old or sick, and their huge body drives cannot be quickly decomposed by scavengers, but slowly fall to the bottom of the sea, which is called "whale fall".

What is the significance of whale falls?

First and foremost, it provides food for many sea creatures. In addition to invertebrates and fish, these marine organisms also have many microorganisms. Compared to these microorganisms, whales vary greatly in size, so the number of marine organisms that can be supported by the death of a whale is considerable.

Second, whale falls provide complex habitats for a large number of benthic organisms. The vast submarine plain has produced small-scale habitat changes due to whale falls, and such habitat changes are especially popular with some borehole organisms and attached organisms. The presence of remnant whale falls provides shelter for some benthic animals and also provides them with organic matter**.

In addition, whale falls promote the transport of organic matter from the upper layers of the ocean to the middle and lower layers of the ocean. Deep-sea productivity is not enough to be supplied by chemoautotrophic bacteria, and the detritus produced by the feeding and death of marine organisms, such as sea snow and whale falls, promotes the downward transport of nutrients to feed the organisms in the deep sea, and also promotes the production of more energy from chemoautotrophic bacteria.

Whales themselves have a longer lifespan, but they also die for various reasons. After their death, there is a possibility of a whale fall. Whale fall refers to the phenomenon that after death, the whale's body does not immediately decompose, but slowly sinks to the depths of the ocean floor under the action of gravity.

Not all whales fall, though. Some whales will be stranded, others will be killed by humans, and none of them will fall. <

Whales are a relatively long-lived creature, but sometimes they die for various reasons and do not die, and the number of whales that die naturally every year is relatively small. After the whale dies, some whales fall. In other words, their bodies do not decompose immediately after they die, and will sink to a deeper part of the ocean due to gravity.

However, not all whales will fall, and whale falls are just one of the places where dead whales go, and they are not a guaranteed phenomenon.

As mentioned above, whales die for different reasons. Their places after death are different, some will fall and some will not. There are several main reasons why whales do not fall:

1. Stranding: After the death of whales, they may have more gas in their bodies. Therefore, although their weight is heavier at this time, at the same time they are subject to a relatively large buoyant force.

If the whales have more fat in their bodies at this time, they may not fall into the depths of the ocean, but will float for a period of time and then be washed ashore by the waves, which is what we often call stranding. There are even times when whales are stranded en masse.

2. Killed by humans: The number of whales that are hunted and sold by humans every year is also relatively large, and these whales naturally do not fall whales. In addition, there are whales that are killed and eaten by other creatures. Similarly, these whales do not fall.

When a whale dies, it is called a whale fall, and they have no swim bladder, and they cannot float in the water after death. Whales that die naturally do not decompose immediately after death, but slowly sink to the bottom of the sea. At this time, an ecosystem is formed in the place where the whales land, and they, like hydrothermal and cold springs, are called oases of deep-sea life.

However, not all whales will fall after death, and only whales that die naturally with branches can form whale falls. <

The significance of whale falls is very important in the marine ecosystem, whales are relatively large, and when they die, their bodies become food for life on the seabed. The death of a whale can feed many creatures under the sea. The second is that whale falls provide an environment for the growth of many creatures that are daunted by the bottom of the fierce and stupid habitats, and also provide them with more organic matter.

Finally, whale falls can also facilitate the transport of organic matter from the upper layer to the lower layer. And whale falls can also promote the creation of some new species, which biologists name as new species.

Whales are marine mammals that play a vital role in the entire marine ecosystem, and whale falls are one of the greatest contributions to marine ecology.

What happens to whales when they die?

One is called a whale burst and the other is called a whale fall. Whale explosion refers to when there is undigested food in the stomach after the whale dies, these foods will decay and produce a large amount of gas under the action of microorganisms, the gas in the whale's body will make the whale float to the sea or run aground on the shore, and as the food continues to decay, the whale has more and more gas in the body, and finally causes the whale to be blown up by the gas, this phenomenon is called a shock, under normal circumstances, the whale will sink to the bottom of the sea after death, this process is called whale fall, because in the process of the whale's body falling to the bottom of the sea, There are many creatures that eat the carcass of whales, so whale falls also refer to the ecosystem formed by whales falling to the bottom of the sea after death, and the meridians in the deep sea of the North Pacific Ocean maintain the survival of at least 43 species and 12,490 organisms, promoting the prosperity of deep-sea life. <>

What do whales go through after death?

The whale fall ecosystem is divided into 4 oxidation phases, the mobile scavenger stage, which is first encountered in the foresea area during the sinking of whale carcasses. Carnivores, such as sharks, hairy squid, deep-sea sharks and production lines, feed on the soft tissues of the poem, which means that most of the whale's body will be eaten by them, and this process will continue for 4 24 months until 90% of the whale carcass is decomposed. Opportunist stage, opportunist refers to those organisms that can adapt to the environment in a short period of time and reproduce quickly, such as some invertebrates, especially polychaetes, armyworms, snails, shrimp and crabs and other crustaceans, etc., they inhabit the whale carcass and reproduce rapidly until only bones are left on the whale carcass.

The last stages after the whale's death.

In the chemoautotrophic stage, the whale carcass at this time only has bones, and a large number of anaerobic bacteria enter the muscles and bones and other tissues to decompose the lipids in them and produce hydrogen sulfide, and hydrogen sulfide can provide energy for chemoautotrophic bacteria, such as hydrogen sulfide. In the rock-coke stage, there is no whale carcass with a little organic matter. But the mission of the whale corpse is not over, the real whale bone has turned into a scorched rock, he provides the foundation for the growth of coral, when life gradually grows, the whale bone no longer has any traces on the bottom of the sea, the whale's life is over, it and the sea is one.
