Summary
editDescriptionDistribution of known whale falls.jpg |
English: Whale falls are mainly distributed in the Atlantic Ocean and the Pacific Ocean. Among them, the Atlantic Ocean has the largest number of whale falls, including natural whale falls, implanted whale falls and fossil whale falls. And the inset shows that the distribution of whale falls in the Atlantic Ocean has a significantly higher number of fossil whale falls than the others; in the Pacific Ocean, the number of whale falls of all three properties is approximately the same, with a higher number of natural whale falls; while the number of whale falls in the Indian Ocean is low, and so far there is no report of whale fall in the Arctic Ocean. With the progress of science and technology, whale falls have been discovered continuously (Smith et al., 1989; Mclean, 1992; Baco and Smith, 2003; Smith and Baco, 2003; Goffredi et al., 2004; Braby et al., 2007; Lundsten et al., 2010a,b; Smith C. R. et al., 2014; Smith K. E. et al., 2014; Alfaro-Lucas et al., 2017). At the same time, scientists have also implanted whale carcasses to study the community ecology and phylogenetics of the whale fall to further investigate the species supported by whale falls and their impact on deep-sea ecosystems. |
