Summary
[edit]DescriptionOarfish smithsonian.JPG |
English: Model of an oarfish (Regalecus glesne) at the Sant Hall of Oceans at the Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. The oarfish is a deep ocean fish that has a highly elongated body. It swims primarily by moving its dorsal fin and not its body, and is often seen hanging upright (like it is depicted here) while waiting for prey to be silhouetted by light from above.
When oarfish die, they usually come to the surface. This had led to myths about "sea serpents" because the oarfish is so freakish looking. Oarfish are usually about 36 feet (11 metres) long and 600 pounds (272 kg) in weight. They have no teeth, and feed on plankton, small fish, jellyfish and squid. Oarfish are often eaten by dolphins, killer whales, and sharks.Deutsch: Modell eines Riemenfisches (Regalecus glesne) in der Sant Hall of Oceans im Smithsonian Museum of Natural History in Washington, D.C. Der Riemenfisch ist ein Tiefseefisch, der einen stark verlängerten Körper hat. Er schwimmt in erster Linie durch die Bewegung seiner Rückenflosse und nicht seines Körpers, und man sieht ihn oft aufrecht hängend (wie hier abgebildet), während er auf Beute wartet, die vom Licht von oben angestrahlt wird.
Wenn Riemenfische sterben, kommen sie normalerweise an die Oberfläche. Dies hat zu Mythen über „Seeschlangen“ geführt, weil der Riemenfisch so unheimlich aussieht. Riemenfische sind normalerweise etwa 11 Meter lang und 272 kg schwer. Sie haben keine Zähne und ernähren sich von Plankton, kleinen Fischen, Quallen und Tintenfischen. Riemenfische werden oft von Delfinen, Schwertwalen und Haien gefressen. |
