这是繁忙的一年礁水族馆的爱好and especially for reef fish discoveries in the Philippines. The Philippines is the largest single exporter of ornamental fish for the aquarium trade. With a population of nearly 100 milion people, you’d think that by now the Philippines would have run out of any major reef fish surprises.
But this country is made up of more than 7,000 islands which endows this part of the world with such a wide variety of habitats that there’s certainly a lot left to be discovered. We’ve still got a few months in this calendar year but already we’ve witnessed some very interesting new fish and behaviors being documented from this unique part of the Coral Triangle.
1。Massive fish migration-我们受邀探索菲律宾西部边缘的礁石。在寻找珊瑚时,我们遇到了一个真正神奇的水下景象,我们从未见过,但仍然无法解释。
2。普通话猫鲨-我们真的试图专注于适合家庭水族馆的礁鱼和珊瑚,因此鲨鱼通常会在我们的写作中倒下。但是,当发现了一个小鲨鱼种类的小鲨鱼和成年大小的小型鲨鱼物种时,集体水族馆世界感到震惊。
3。赫尔夫里希的火鱼-在菲律宾北部找到赫尔夫里奇的火鱼非常令人兴奋。但是我们对其他类型的鱼更加兴奋likethe Helfrich may yet lie undiscovered in some of the deeper reef environments of the Filipino coral triangle.
4。莫耶的豹子-Macropharyngodon moyeri代表典型的日本礁鱼。在菲律宾找到这种物种的暗示,我们可能还能在菲律宾北部找到更多的日本礁鱼。
5。Chevron tangs-如果Moyer的豹子wrasse代表了在菲律宾发现的日本鱼,则雪佛龙唐代表了冰山一角,因为在世界的这一地区也可以找到太平洋礁鱼。
