这条蓝鲨正在亚速尔群岛附近游泳,亚速尔群岛是葡萄牙的一个岛屿链,位于葡萄牙大陆以西850英里处。鲨鱼名字的灵感来源于它的背色,从浅蓝到深色都有。它细长的锥形身体被一个从一边到另一边的长长尾鳍敏捷而优雅地推进水中。蓝鲨被列为“濒临灭绝”的物种,除南极洲外,其他各大洲的海岸都有蓝鲨,是分布最广的鲨鱼。游泳敏捷有力,蓝鲨能长距离迁徙。它们通常沿着墨西哥湾流的顺时针方向游动1200到1700英里甚至更远,以寻找食物、伴侣和“恰到好处”的水温。
原文:
This blue shark is swimming near the Azores, a Portuguese chain of islands about 850 miles west of mainland Portugal. The inspiration for the shark's name comes from its back color, which can vary from a light blue to a darker shade. Its slender, tapered body is propelled through the water with agility and grace by a long tail fin that sweeps from side to side. Listed as 'near threatened,' blue sharks are found off the coast of every continent except for Antarctica, making them the most widely distributed of all sharks. Swift and powerful swimmers, blue sharks migrate long distances. It's common for them to swim 1,200 to 1,700 miles or even farther, following the clockwise currents of the Gulf Stream in search of food, mates, and 'just right' water temperatures.
