中文注释:太平洋某处深海热液喷口附近,饥肠辘辘的虾蟹依靠巨型管蠕虫体内的细菌为生。热液喷口其实就是海平面1.5英哩下的高温海水温泉喷口,他们是生物学家和摄影师最极端的探索前线之一。文字与照片为国家地理杂志2000.10《极至学科:深海烟囱》而做,照片未刊出 作者: Emory Kristof
火把虫 加拉帕戈斯群岛 图片故事:管蠕虫,又称管虫(tube worm)(火把虫),它们可以不需要阳光照射,而可以从它们附近的环境,吸收营养,产生能量而生存,例如海洋脊裂谷形成的海底温泉,这些温泉有很多矿物质,它们从周围的硫化氢吸取能量,然后利用水和水里的二氧化碳制造糖,这些糖便是提供这些生物活动所需。高清壁纸:英文注释:Tube Worms, Galápagos Islands, 2000Foraging crabs and hungry fish feed on bacteria from giant tube worms near a deep sea vent in the Pacific Ocean. The vents are actually springs of super-heated water about 1.5 miles (2.4 kilometers) below the ocean's surface. They are one of the last frontiers biologists and photographers are working to record.
