Strange creatures invaded the coast causing many people to be confused

Appearing along the coast in millions of individuals, mysterious creatures are causing horrifying nightmares for the people here.

SF Gate newspaper reported that a bizarre animal like from alien appeared and quickly covered Monterey beach in California state (USA). Although the appearance seems harmless, this strange creature is seriously obstructing the fishing of local fishermen. So what is this mysterious creature, and is their sudden appearance of incredible numbers warning of an environmental problem?

Strange transparent creatures like jelly, cucumber-like shapes suddenly appear dense on Monterey beach.

In fact, this creature has the scientific name Zooids , a species in the genus Pyrosoma, belonging to the family Pyrosomatidae, Pyrosomida . As for the coastal people, this animal is referred to more closely as "sea cucumber" or "fire body" based on its appearance.

Not only does the shape of a pickled cucumber and a transparent agar-like body, the special thing of this bisexual creature lies in the fact that each individual contains fluorescence. So when they gather together in large numbers, they emit light no different from the fire in the sea.

"Sea cucumber" is also known as "fire body".

Talking about the emergence of this mutant number, NOAA (American National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration) said it was found long ago in warm waters. But until 2015, a tremendous increase in numbers and frequent occurrences on the coast stretching from Northern California to Oregon and Washington made this creature to be noticed by scientists. NOAA researchers collaborated with Oregon universities in an effort to find the cause of this organism's outbreak.

And the answer is gradually being revealed. The Guardian newspaper led biologist Rick Brodeur and Dr. Ocean expert. Lisa-ann Gershwin said that it is the warming of the sea water that is the leading factor causing this anomaly. However, they also cautioned that more intensive research should be conducted to clarify the relationship between habitat change for this population.

The dense appearance of the "sea cucumber" has had a very bad impact on the residents' fisheries.

However, there is no doubt that the dense appearance of "sea cucumbers" has a very bad impact on residents' fisheries. A National Geographic experiment showed that more than 60,000 Zooids were pulled up in just 5 minutes to drop the net. Even many Alaska fishermen have to abandon their boats after being trapped by this troubled animal.

Strangely, some fish caught when caught have a vomit "sea cucumber". Again a difficult question for scientists, is whether this tiny creature is a fish's food, or that its growing density is hindering normal digestive activity. sea ​​fish?
