! This time it is in Guangxi. Many netizens said that if this happens, Guangxi will become popular next! So what happened?
It turns out that scientific researchers recently collected a new fish species in Fengshan County, Hechi City, Guangxi, named " Cailao Gui Cuttlehead ", which belongs to the newly created "Gui Cuttlefish".
According to the introduction, in fact, Kunming Institute of Zoology, Chinese Academy of Sciences and Yunnan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine had already cooperated a long time ago. They conducted scientific investigations and sorted out animals and plants near Cailao River, and then discovered A kind of fish, after a long period of observation and research, it was finally determined to be a new genus and species.
In fact, this series of work took a long time. The researchers said that they had multiple teams working together to collect various samples for comparison and research after inspecting and sorting the specimens, analyzing molecular phylogeny, etc. Understand the characteristics and habits of this new species.
So what’s so magical about this Cai Lao Gui cuttlefish? Why has Guangxi become famous?
First of all, it is the name of this fish. The naming pattern is taken from the Chinese name of the Cailao River where it is produced, which has the characteristics of Guangxi; secondly, this is not the first time that a new fish species has been discovered in Guangxi. Previously Duan Blue dace, Jingxi Zuojiang fish, and Hechi cave loach have all been discovered continuously, so they have always attracted attention.
The third is the characteristic of this fish itself. The most typical one is that the lower lip has a specialized sucker structure and a well-developed upper lip. They are very food-loving, is not picky about bait but has strong ability to compete for food. This characteristic is completely different from many freshwater fish.
And the staff said that after long-term observation, they found that they have been in very good condition and very healthy. Even if the surrounding water quality is affected, they can still survive, and their disease resistance can be said to be very powerful.
After the new discovery of this species, the local area is preparing to take relevant measures to further strengthen environmental protection and restrict random fishing, because according to expert estimates, there may be more than one new species in the Hechi area of Guangxi, and there may be more Undiscovered rare species.
The reason why so many new species have been continuously discovered in Guangxi is that it has a very good geographical location and a low latitude, so there is sufficient precipitation, good vegetation coverage, and rapid water exchange, so there are fresh algae and other Microorganisms that can be eaten by most animals.
Second, Guangxi is vast and sparsely populated, so there are relatively few areas destroyed and disturbed by humans, which creates conditions for many animals to inhabit.
Perhaps as experts say, the discovery of the Tsai Lao Gui cuttlefish is just the beginning, and there may be more new species that are not understood by humans and will be exposed to the public.
In the future, Guangxi may become more attractive to everyone who likes to travel!
