Discovered the shocking world of the science of strange moon fish

According to the new article published in Science magazine, the Opah fish, also known as the Moon fish, is the first fish that has fully developed adaptations through the hot blood circulation system, thereby helping them Can survive at the deepest depths of the ocean.

The new discovery of the strange moonfish has shocked the scientific world

Scientists at the US Ocean and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) say the average body temperature of Opah fish is 4-5 degrees Celsius.

While tuna or shark species can only warm up certain areas of the body such as the brain, eyes or muscle pairs in a short time when searching for food in deep waters, Opah fish can do it. Warm the body quickly.

The upstream heat exchanger allows Opah fish to maintain their body temperature when entering cold water streams. They can chase prey for a long distance.

Opah fish produces heat through the continuous flapping of pectoral fins.

Previously, scientists thought that only birds and new mammals have the ability to heat the body to survive in cold conditions. And reptiles, mollusks or most types of fish are classified as "cold blood."

Therefore, the new discovery of lunar fish is considered a discovery of scientific world, can open many new doors in research on marine animals .
