Appearance characteristic
The appearance of mullet is very strange. Their bodies are long and their black skin is covered with white spots, which looks very like a snake. The mouth of mullet is very big, which can be opened to half the length of its body, and it is covered with sharp teeth.
The mullet's eyes are so small that it is almost invisible. Their eyesight is very poor, and they can only rely on their sense of smell and electrical sensors to perceive their surroundings. The fins of mullet are very special. They have no dorsal fin and anal fin, only a long dorsal fin and a short caudal fin.
Habit characteristics
Snakehead lives in the darkness of the deep sea, usually at the bottom of the sea where the water depth exceeds 1000 meters. They are carnivores and feed on other fish and invertebrates.
The snakehead's predation method is very unique. They use electric sensors to sense the prey around them, and then swallow it with their mouths open. Snakehead's teeth are very sharp and can easily crush the bones of other fish.
How to observe mullet
Because mullet live in the darkness of the deep sea, it is difficult for us to observe them directly. However, we can observe mullet by the following methods:
1. Use submarine or remote control detector to go deep into the seabed.
2. Use sonar and other instruments to detect the existence of mullet.
3. Observe the specimen of mullet.
4. Use the deep-sea camera to shoot the image of mullet.
Protect mullet
Mullet is a precious deep-sea creature, but its number is gradually decreasing due to human overfishing and pollution. In order to protect mullet, we should take the following measures:
1. Reduce the catch of mullet.
2. Strengthen marine environmental protection and reduce pollution.
3. Strengthen the research and protection of mullet.
Through the above measures, we can protect mullet, a mysterious deep-sea creature, and let them continue to survive on the earth.
