Salmon Cannon Attracts Global Attention
三文魚炮引起了全球關注
A contraption that launches salmon to their spawning grounds has caught the attention of people across the globe. Video of the salmon cannon, developed by Whooshh Innovations, has gone viral on the Internet. The video shows the fish swimming into a tube that propels them across a dam and spits them out on the other side. Inside the flexible tube, the fish are misted with water so they can keep breathing during their journey. The cannons are an alternative to traditional fish ladders that salmon have to jump up to bypass a dam or other obstruction.
一種將三文魚發射到產卵地的奇妙裝置引起了全球范圍內的注意。由Whooshh Innovations公司研發的三文魚炮的視頻在網上走紅。視頻顯示,三文魚會游進一根管子里,管子促使它們穿過水壩,然后再從另一邊吐出來。魚兒在穿過這個柔性管的時候會被水覆蓋,這樣它們就可以在旅途中保持呼吸。這種炮是傳統魚梯的替代品,如果使用傳統的魚梯,三文魚必須得跳到梯子上才能通過水壩或其他障礙物。
