Spooky 'blue tears' spread across the Chinese sea

The phenomenon of virtual "green tears" is spreading in the East China Sea, poisoning many marine organisms and can cause illness for humans.

New research from the University of Southern Florida (USA) has explained the truth about the phenomenon of " virtual tears" extremely fantasy and ghost appeared in the East China Sea (China) recently, especially the region Sea around Matsu Islands - Taiwan. On summer nights, one can see beautiful blue light shining around the coast. The phenomenon attracted many visitors.

Ghostly beautiful and the death of many marine creatures, "green tears" worries scientists.

The main author, Chanmin Hu oceanographer and colleagues used satellite data including nearly 1,000 images of "green tears" for the past 19 years and found "biological signatures" from a birth. Very special objects, expressed through the wavelength of light they emit.

It is dinoflagellates , a small plankton capable of bioluminescence. The landscape they create is not as romantic as many people think: "green tears" are very toxic and dangerous.

Dinoflagellates themselves are not toxic, but the problem lies in their eating preferences . They choose toxic algae as food and release ammonia and strong toxic chemicals to the surrounding water when digested. These chemicals are poisoning many species of fish and sea turtles and can cause illness in humans.

Not only that, they also consumed the amount of oxygen in the water until the water became "dead zone" - the term refers to the waters with low oxygen levels so that marine life cannot survive.

More worrisome is that the phenomenon of green tears is increasingly spreading in the East China Sea, making the waters more and more beautiful and more deadly. The cause of the frightening proliferation of 'green tears' is unclear, but according to Chanmin Hu, pollutants from agriculture flowing into the Yangtze River and dumping into the sea are largely responsible . These chemicals have enabled organisms to cause 'green tears' to have a chance to proliferate.
