中文注释:全球商业捕捞,使20世纪60年代阿拉斯加弗雷德里克海峡(Frederick Sound)这样的座头鲸数量锐减至几千头。但是在全球鲸鱼禁捕以后,其数量开始回升,根据最近的统计调查,仅北太平洋里的座头鲸数量就多于10000头,甚至可达25000头。 在阿拉斯加的弗雷德里克海峡,一条座头鲸正在海面上展露它那闪亮的尾巴。在上世纪60年代,由于商业捕猎行为大行其道,全世界的座头鲸的数目曾锐减到只剩下数千条。直到国际全面禁止捕鲸,他们才得到重生。今时今日,根据最新的调查报告显示,单单在北太平洋,座头鲸的数目就超过1万条,甚至可能已经有2.5万条之多。 补充: 作者: Michael Melford
阿拉斯加 弗雷德里克海峡 鲸 图片故事:高清壁纸:英文注释:Whale's Tail, Frederick Sound, Alaska, 1999 Commercial hunting of humpback whales, like this one flashing its flukes in Alaska's Frederick Sound, reduced their population to just a few thousand worldwide in the 1960s. But an international whaling ban has helped them rebound, and new census numbers show the North Pacific population alone could be more than 10,000 and possibly as many as 25,000.
