The star-nosed mole is a species of small mole found in the humid lowlands of eastern Canada and the northeastern United States, with records along the Atlantic coast as far as extreme southeastern Georgia. It is the only member of the tribe Condylurini and the genus Condylura. Blobfish (also known as teardrop fish) – a fish voted by the Ugly Animal Preservation Society as the standard of evil. This fish was first found in the waters of New Zealand and Australia, at depths between 600 and 1,200 meters. These are also places where the pressure is about 118 times higher than sea level. If you’ve ever seen a cephalopod recently discovered by scientists, perhaps all the strange things in this world will become completely normal, and also not surprising. , because this creature is considered the strangest species. Essentially it looks like an oversized paper clip or a long “beard” on the head, they have a curved body with twists. This animal is called Diplomoceras maximum. It’s a pity that no matter in any zoo on the planet or on a deep-sea diving boat, you won’t be able to see this animal, because it is just like Tyrannosaurus. This animal lived in Antarctica during the Cretaceous period 68 million years ago and what we can see today are only their fossils. The age of the fossils is about 68 million years, the end of the Cretaceous period, the same time as the tyrannosaurs. This strange squid mainly inhabits the waters around present-day Antarctica. It is possible that they became extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs because of the catastrophic impact of the asteroid Chicxulub. The fossil of this strange squid was discovered by the Antarctic Expedition at the UK’s University of Leeds. Scientists conducted a scientific investigation on Seymour Island in the Antarctic peninsula for six years and discovered more than 6,000 fossils of marine life. The most special of these is the squid Diplomoceras maximum (Paperclip squid). Fossils of paperclip squid are now on public display at the Earth Museum in Ithaca, New York, if you’re lucky enough to see it, you won’t be able to imagine why this animal grew up like that. – it is about 1.5 meters long and can be up to 2 meters long, equivalent to the height of a human; if it stretched out its paperclip-shaped body in a straight line, its body length would exceed 4 meters. Their assumption is consistent because shells are known to grow by accretion, creating new growth each year. After shrinking the giant shells of these 1.5-meter-long animals, the researchers concluded that the only plausible explanation is that these animals have a lifespan of about 200 years. In addition, the most surprising thing to scientists is that this paperclip squid has a lifespan of up to 200 years, speculated now from the ridges on their shells, this calculation is similar to the way Calculate the age from the ridges of the tree trunk. Their shells were developed through accretion, based on repeated patterns of carbon and oxygen isotopes, which scientists believe reflects annual methane production on the seafloor. This means that the paperclip’s shell will grow one more groove each year, and it will grow longer and longer. And the question is why this squid was able to live so long, while modern cephalopods, such as cuttlefish and squid, have a lifespan of less than 5 years even when they are the largest species of this family or the cephalopods are also shellfish, they can only live up to 20 years. So paperclip ink can live to be 200 years old is completely strange and mysterious. New research published at an online meeting of the American Geological Society claims to have discovered new evidence for a previously unknown creature with a very long lifespan. To answer this question, paleontologists have put forward a threefold hypothesis – they suggest that their habitat at that time was similar to that of the Greenland shark, which lived in cold waters. The price of Antarctica, have long and dark winters, lack of food sources, so they have to slow down their metabolism to increase their chances of successful reproduction, so their lifespan is also increased.

This fish was first found in the waters of New Zealand and Australia, at depths from 600 to 1,200 meters. These are also locations where the pressure is about 118 times higher than sea level. If you ever saw a new species of cephalopods discovered by scientists recently, perhaps all the strange things in this world would be very normal, and not surprising. , because this creature is considered the most exotic. Essentially it looks like an oversized paperclip or a bunch of long “antennae” on the head, they have curved bodies with twisted lines. This animal is called Diplomoceras maximum. It’s a pity that no matter where you live in any zoo on the planet or ride a diving boat to explore the deep sea, you will not be able to see this animal, as it is just like Tyrannosaurus. This animal lived in Antarctica during the Cretaceous period 68 million years ago and what we can see today is only their fossil. The date of the fossils is about 68 million years, the late Cretaceous period, the same time the dinosaurs. This strange squid mainly inhabits the waters around present-day Antarctica. They may have gone extinct at the same time as the dinosaurs because of the catastrophic impact of the asteroid Chicxulub.

Their assumption is consistent because the shell is known to grow by accretion, creating new growth each year. After shrinking the giant crust of these 1.5-meter-long animals, the researchers concluded that the only plausible explanation was that these animals had a lifespan of about 200 years. In addition, what surprised scientists the most was that the paperclip squids had a lifespan of up to 200 years, speculation now calculated from the edges on their shell, which is similar to the method. Calculate the age from the trunk lines. Their shells are developed through accretion, and based on the repetitive characteristics of carbon and oxygen isotopes, scientists believe this reflects the annual production of methane on the seabed. This means that the paperclip ink’s cover will grow one more groove each year, and it will grow longer and longer. And the question is why this squid is able to live so long, while modern cephalopods, such as cuttlefish and squid, live less than 5 years even if they are the largest of this family or the cobra is also a shellfish, which can only live up to 20 years. So paperclip ink can live to 200 years old is completely strange and mysterious. New research published at an online meeting of the American Geological Association claims the discovery of new evidence suggesting a very long lifespan has never been known before. To answer this question, paleontologists have come up with a temporary hypothesis – they suggest that their habitat at that time was similar to that of the Greenland sharks, which lived in cold seas. Antarctica’s prices, which have long and dark winters, lack food sources, so they have to slow down their metabolism to increase their chances of reproducing successfully, so their lifespans are also increased.

Virtual life and death! Recently on many travel forums, the story of a tourist posting photos of starfish dying dry due to being taken ashore to take pictures of “virtual life” in Rach Vem, Phu Quoc has attracted a lot of attention. Most of the comments are outraged by the ignorant actions of some young people that lead to the undue death of the marine species that is the symbol of this sea. Getting starfish ashore has become a “habit” of some tourists. On websites, many accounts constantly share check-in pictures of celebrities who use starfish as virtual living tools without knowing that just a few dozen seconds from the water surface, the starfish will die now. Prof. Dr. Do Cong Thung, Chairman of the Scientific Council of the Institute of Marine Resources and Environment, said that starfish breathe through the legs and papillae (tiny particles spread all over the body). These tubular legs and papillae are equipped with a very thin layer of tissue, allowing gases to pass easily, whether inhaling oxygen (O2) or exhaling carbon dioxide (CO2), in a process known as is diffuse. Unlike fish with only two gills, the starfish is covered with papillae throughout the body. In other words, their “noses” or “gills” are scattered all over the body surface. When not in water, starfish not only cannot absorb the necessary oxygen. Therefore, they cannot remove carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide (CO) from the body. This leads to carbon dioxide and carbon monoxide poisoning and causes death. Most starfish can only hold their breath for less than 30 seconds. Sea stars, sea cucumbers and corals, are naturally born with fragile, fragile creatures. Just a light touch can hurt them. The act of bringing them out of the water is a brutal act of killing this endemic aquatic species. “When taken out of the water, starfish will die within about a minute. The act of catching starfish out of the water to take pictures is very dangerous. It threatens the life of this species. Beaches with starfish need to give warnings, otherwise starfish species will be in danger of scarcity and extinction, losing the value of marine habitat “, Prof.Dr Do Cong Thung said. And Mr. Nguyen Linh Ngoc, a marine conservation expert in Phu Quoc, said that many tourists take starfish out of the water to take pictures, then drop them right away. But when left in the sun on the shore, they die quickly. Starfish have no economic value like sea cucumber or seahorse. Starfish are normal seafood objects. It is not an ecological indicator animal of little scientific value. It is a crustacean that no one eats because it doesn’t have meat. Tourists like mainly the shape it looks like a star. In terms of marine conservation, there is also no regulation prohibiting the exploitation of starfish because this species is not included in the conservation list. But starfish create beautiful scenery for the marine environment, attracting huge visitors. Therefore, the protection of starfish mainly depends on the awareness of visitors as well as reminders of the resorts. An important role in the ecosystem Vietnam has 60 different species of starfish distributed along the coast from North to South, Nha Trang Bay alone has discovered 20 species belonging to 16 genera, 11 families and 4 orders. In Cat Ba, Hai Phong, a starfish beach with an area of ​​up to 5 hectares is home to shallow trench starfish and deep-trench starfish with a high density of about 20 individuals / m2. Starfish food is fish, snails, clams, squid, shrimp and other molluscs. Some starfish species have the ability to turn their stomachs out to cover large foods and then digest themselves outside of their bodies. Vietnam has species such as starfish, blue starfish, pillow starfish, crunchy starfish … Each different species has a certain role, contributing to the general ecosystem, especially creating continuity in the chain. Food that once this food chain is destroyed will have a little or no impact on an entire ecosystem. Mr. Le Chien, Head of Sasa Marine Life Rescue Center, said that touching, holding, touching and catching starfish and sea creatures ashore is extremely offensive. It is being strongly condemned in many countries around the world. When people touch marine organisms, bacteria and chemicals from sunscreen, soap … on their hands can attack directly on their soft tissue. Organisms that have never been exposed and that do not have immune systems to bacteria from humans will be severely affected, even if they may not die immediately. In addition, starfish are only capable of sun exposure for a certain period of time, so bringing them ashore is extremely dangerous. In addition, not all marine life is harmless to humans. If you touch the wrong starfish species, people can be burned, shocked and killed. Not to mention there are many other toxic species such as snail. This job is also playing with their lives and loved ones. Prof.Dr Do Cong Thung said, starfish is a key species (keystone species) in the ecosystem. They are omnivores that feed mainly on scavengers, molluscs, small fish, algae or organic residues. There are more than 1,900 species of starfish around the world, living in all depths of the oceans. They play a very important role in the organic circulation, operating the ecosystem in which they exist. Therefore, the absence or degradation of starfish can lead to the collapse of the marine ecosystem.

After the salt soaking, the jellyfish are rinsed so that it no longer has a salty taste. Jellyfish are mollusks that usually appear in the sea from January to March of lunar year each year with a very cheap price, about 1 million VND / ton. Xuan Lien sea area is far from fresh water, so the jellyfish is big and old – a prerequisite for the processing of high quality products. Although over 20 years working as a profession with the secret of processing delicious instant jellyfish, the products of Mr. Nguyen Van Hoat’s family (Lam Hai Hoa village, Xuan Lien commune) have not yet been branded for “Reaching out to the great sea” Therefore, after many concerns, Mr. Hoat decided to invest more than 1 billion VND to install a factory, build 40 jellyfish salt tanks with cement, paved with ceramic tiles (size 3m long, 2m wide, 0.8m high) ; buy cutting machine, rotating machine, finished jellyfish packaging machine … Weighing and packaging jellyfish instant products. After completing the installation of equipment, in early 2021, the Huong Que production facility of Mr. Nguyen Van Hoat’s family shook hands to raise the brand. In order for the product to be of good quality, according to Mr. Hoat, the raw materials must be very fresh, not sticky with sand, because the process cannot remove sand from the product. Jellyfish after being cleaned and removed all organs are put into the cutter, cut into small pieces. Next, use the oil cleaner for 9 hours. After removing all kinds of impurities, jellyfish are put in a salt tank at the rate of 1 ton of jellyfish, 1 quintal of salt and 1 kg of alum for 10 days. Instant jellyfish is packaged in a plastic bag or plastic box, weighing 0.5kg. According to Mr. Hoat, white salt works to ripen jellyfish and preserve it for a long time, and alum makes jellyfish shiny and eye-catching. After 10 days of salt, jellyfish are removed from the tank and soaked in cold water for about 5 hours to retain the salty taste and season with spices such as garlic, chili, ginger … and finished packaging. Instant jellyfish products of Huong Que establishment are clean, have natural jellyfish taste, are crunchy, not crumpled, and ensure food hygiene and safety. It is known that during the processing of these products, the manufacturer does not give up additives to ensure natural taste. Therefore, the use time is not too long, but only within 45 days. Jellyfish after packaging are put into storage in the freezer. Instant jellyfish can be eaten with vermicelli, pho, crab cake or as a salad. Products are sold in Ha Tinh and some Northern provinces. Currently, the owner is aiming to export to China and South Korea. Every year, Huong Que factory purchases 500-700 tons of fresh jellyfish, produces 50-70 tons of instant jellyfish with the selling price ranging from 1 – 1.4 billion VND. After subtracting production costs, this establishment earned 200-300 million VND. Products are recognized by the Provincial People’s Committee to meet OCOP criteria of 3 stars by 2020. Actively produce, operate, improve product quality and build OCOP products, after 3 months (December 17, 2020), instant jellyfish products are recognized by the People’s Committee of Ha Tinh province to meet OCOP 3 standard. star.

In particular, this facility also creates jobs for 18 local children with an average income of 8 million VND / person / month.

During summer days, pickled dishes are eaten by many people with rice or processed with other foods such as shrimp, meat, fish … to create many other delicious dishes. However, be careful when using pickles because it can cause poisoning for people to eat Experts recommend eating melons only when they turn bright yellow, medium sour, crunchy and fragrant. Avoid eating pickles while still green, with a pungent taste, so melons are easy to contain many nitrosamines that are harmful to health. Users should also avoid using pickles that have been aged for too long, have appeared scum or residue on the surface … to not be poisoned. In addition, proper storage of pickles will help limit the risk of food poisoning. Accordingly, if the leftovers of pickles should not be put back into the jar because they easily damage the available melons, also need to use a clean spoon to pick up the melon, cover the jar and should be stored in the refrigerator’s cooler … During the summer trips, most families are eager to be able to enjoy grilled oysters, greasy raw oysters … However, be wary because the dish can cause food poisoning. Because oysters are susceptible to Vibrio parahaemolyticus and Vibrio vulnificus from the water they live in. So if not processed properly, enjoyers may experience symptoms of poisoning such as diarrhea, vomiting, abdominal pain … People with liver disease, diabetes, cancer, stomach disorders or any other disease that affects the immune system … ingesting contaminated oysters can be life-threatening.

The process of processing fresh jellyfish must be soaked 3 times in salt and alum water, when the jellyfish meat turns light red or light yellow, it can be used for food processing. Bean sprouts with cool properties are used quite a lot in the summer for cooking However, the beans need warm and humid conditions to grow, which are also ideal conditions for the growth of bacteria, including Salmonella, Listeria and E. coli … Even home-grown bean sprouts that are in good hygienic conditions can become contaminated because the seeds have become contaminated. So we should preliminarily process bean sprouts instead of just rinsing and eating them raw Milk and dairy products contain Lactobacillus bacteria.

Jellyfish season is sleepless nights of the coastal residents of Thinh Long. The time to start harvesting jellyfish of the fishermen here starts from 1am. Jellyfish are molluscs, living in seawater. The jellyfish are caught offshore from 6 to 12 nautical miles. Jellyfish harvest season lasts 3 months, from January to the end of March of lunar calendar. Depending on the weather that jellyfish are more or less. This year, up to 20 days a month, fishermen can exploit jellyfish. Every evening, ships often catch 3,000-4,000 jellyfish. Jellyfish exploitation brings high income but hard work, many people do not have the strength to do it. Those who are not healthy do other jobs, while those who are healthy do this profession with very high income. The people here are also from jellyfish to get rich and develop their economy. According to VTC16, the preliminary processing factory of Mr. Ninh Van Chinh is one of the largest jellyfish preliminary processing factories in Thinh Long. During the day when there are many jellyfish, Mr. Chinh’s workshop operates from late at night until 18:00 the next day. Jellyfish after being preliminarily processed will be put in a centrifuge to squeeze the water, leaving only the meat. The jellyfish meat is soaked in salty brine to be freshly cooked before deep processing. Soaking jellyfish is like pickling salt, soaking jellyfish in salt water reaches 24 degrees, within 1 week to 10 days to ensure the ripeness of the jellyfish, delicious, fishy, ​​and crispy. Working as a preliminary processing jellyfish in Thinh Long quite a lot of time, Ms. Nguyen Thi Xuan said that each time she made jellyfish preliminary, she was paid 500,000 VND. She also said that the work is quite hard, but because she depends on her family, she chose this job. “When I work at night, I can still take care of my children during the day. As for the day, many people are too busy to go.” Previously, jellyfish were only pickled to become salty jellyfish and then sold in domestic and foreign markets. However, in recent years, in order to increase the value of jellyfish, production establishments have upgraded and processed deeply into instant jellyfish. Jellyfish is rich in nutrients, rich in protein, newspaper, calcium, iron and other vitamins, cool, easy to eat. Currently, 1 year, 31 milk processing establishments across Nam Dinh can supply to domestic and foreign markets about 500 tons of jellyfish. (According to Business and Marketing)

The image of starfish dying dry on the sand after tourists arranged for pictures (Photo: NVCC)

The female tourist thought that some people wanted beautiful photos, so they arranged starfish to take pictures. But when they finished shooting, they left the starfish that burned dry in the sun. Frustrated by the lack of awareness of a part of tourists, she decided to share this story on travel forums. Since then, most of the online community have expressed their dissatisfaction and criticized the above behavior.

Over the past time, the trend of “taking photos with starfish” has become a “hot trend” today. Just type the keyword “starfish Phu Quoc”, within 0.64 seconds, google gave 48,300,000 related results. This shows how much interest and searching internet users have for this marine species.

In fact, it is normal to take pictures with the natural landscape in each trip and then share and introduce them to everyone. The incident is not worth criticizing if the photographer respects and does not affect the natural environment. Putting starfish on the sandy beach and then leaving it not only shows a lack of awareness in public (creating more trash for the beach), but more harmful than affecting the environmental ecosystem and marine resources.

Whether carefree or intentional, bringing starfish ashore to take pictures and then “neglected” is difficult to accept. Not to mention, the “holding, holding, touching” starfish can also cause negative effects if human hands carry viruses and bacteria harmful to marine organisms. Even so, many opinions even say that bringing starfish to the sandy beach to take pictures and then released back into the seawater is also harmful to starfish.

Starfish is the common name for the echinoderms of the class Asteroidea. There are currently about 1,800 living starfish species present in all oceans of the world. Starfish are present in a wide range from tidal flats to abyss (6,000 m). Most of them have a symmetrical 5-armed star shape with a central center point. However, there will be individual starfish species with up to 10, 20 and even 40 arms.

Starfish as well as other types of marine life contribute to the general ecosystem, creating continuity in the food chain. Once this food chain is damaged excessively, it will reduce the number of populations in the ecosystem, reduce biodiversity, loss of landscape.

In many countries, even tourists will be severely fined for touching marine creatures such as corals to take pictures. In Vietnam, the application of sanctions like this in tourist destinations is not much. However, the Law on resources and environment of sea and islands No. 82/2015 / QH13 passed by the National Assembly on June 25, 2015 clearly states the rights, obligations and responsibilities of agencies, organizations and individuals in the general management of natural resources, protection of the environment of the sea and islands of Vietnam. In which, content No. 5 in Article 8 of the Law clearly shows the prohibited acts: Destroying or degrading the environment, marine and island ecosystems.

Protection of marine environment contributes to ensuring the diversity of marine ecosystems (Artwork: Phuquocxanh.com)

Looking at the world wide, the issue of environmental protection, marine and island ecosystems has also been noticed for a long time. Many international conventions on the protection of the marine environment have been established, creating a basis and legal corridor for preserving the marine environment and preventing pollution at sea. In particular, the 1982 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS 1982) has established the basic provisions for the conservation of marine life. UNCLOS 1982 not only defines the obligations of countries to protect the marine environment, but also dedicates a separate section on the protection and preservation of the marine environment.

Perhaps it’s time to change our perception, behavior, and habits while traveling. Instead of littering and affecting the living environment, it is necessary to consciously preserve and protect the landscape and the diversity of the ecosystem. The story of starfish in Phu Quoc is just one example, a testament to the “carefree”, “carefree” of people in front of nature. The time has come, each of us needs to contribute and join hands to build a healthy and sustainable ecosystem, for our own health, our lives! ./.

According to the owner of the photo, the scene of starfish dying dry, lying on the sand was taken at noon on April 2. Previously, this female tourist and her family were transported by the taxi driver and introduced it as “a beach with many stars and arranged into a heart shape”.

Upon arrival, this visitor was surprised to witness the scene of a dead starfish basking in the sun. This person then took the photo and posted the story on social media.

Frustrated by the above incident, Mr. Le Chien, representative of Marine Life Rescue Center, said that this situation happened a few years ago, not just recently.

We need to know that starfish play an important role in the ecosystem. People call starfish a key type. Without such a key species, the surrounding ecosystem will collapse.

Starfish has the characteristic of being alive above all temperatures. No matter what environment they live in, they play an important role in that ecosystem, but many people take starfish ashore to take pictures and let them die. This situation has a very low general assessment of Vietnamese people’s consciousness.

“We have many foreign volunteers, sometimes they come to Vietnam to play and meet the scene where Vietnamese people catch sea animals and leave them on the shore, all foreigners have a very offensive impression. jobs on.

However, this work with Vietnamese people is as natural and innocent as meals. That is really sad, expressing the common sense of society “-anh Chien shared.

According to the representative of the Marine Life Rescue Center, people in the countryside or the city when traveling are the same, it is lack of knowledge about the sea.

The story of the starfish is like the story of the coral, really to solve the above problem requires handling sanctions. Although the Marine Life Rescue Center has repeatedly proposed this issue to higher levels, it still cannot solve it because there is no penalty.

Our country needs a penalty to strictly punish violators. If Thai and Filipinos just touch the coral and be photographed, that tourist will be ordered to deport and pay a large fine. However, in Vietnam, there is no force to check.

Bringing starfish to shore and then letting them die for photography is very offensive. (Illustration)

“Summarizing to solve and limit the above things, we have to do in 3 aspects. The first is the community communication aspect by giving scientific knowledge to tourists, especially people. local people.

Only local people who understand, they will work enthusiastically and supervise closely. The second is in terms of education, it is necessary to provide more information about the environment, about marine life and forests in order to make tourists travel for civilization.

Finally, it is imperative to have a sanction against both foreigners and Vietnamese when violating “-anh Chien emphasized.

In addition, the representative of the Marine Life Rescue Center shared more about the current tourism situation in our country.

According to Chien, 90% of tourism businesses make mistakes and put visitors at risk. For example, if you go diving to see coral, they will give you a life jacket, diving goggles, and a breathing tank, that’s absolutely wrong and internationally forbids it. When guests wear life jackets into the water, the body will be difficult to control and even people die in the coral reef because corals cut into arteries.

“When in the water, all the tourists trampling on we must accept and correct mistakes, even go to replant the coral, but will not interfere at that time because it will affect the customer’s lives and of ourselves.

Not to mention that there are many types of corals, some are poisonous and many tourists do not necessarily understand this. The image of starfish dying dry on the shore made many people get up, but looking at the tourist picture of Vietnam, it was really bad, ugly …
