This ‘grass of the sea’ feeds zooplankton and fish, which then become food for Illex argentinus and other marine creatures.
To draw the plankton and fish that the squid eat to the surface, fishermen use powerful lights, generating as much as 300 kilowatts per boat.
Squid follow their prey toward the surface, where they are easier for fishermen to catch with jigging lines.
For many squid, the zooplankton and fish they follow is the last meal they will eat.
In the South Atlantic, Argentine and Falklands citizens have exclusive rights to fish out to 200 miles.
As the map suggests, ships from other nations work as close to that border as they can to get a share of the squid fishing.
去年,美国国家航空航天局(NASA)发布了一张地球卫星图,图片显示,在南大西洋中心,离阿根廷海岸300英里(约483公里)处有一些可疑的“城市灯光”出现,这令人十分费解,因为那片区域既没有人类居住,也不是起火,也没有天然气井。
这些神秘光点到底是什么呢?据《每日电讯报》10月25日报道,NASA称那些光其实来自渔船,由于光照很强,在太空都能看到,suomi npp卫星用可见红外成像辐射仪套件(viirs)捕捉到了它们。
这些晚上作业的渔船正在捕捞阿根廷滑柔鱼,这是一种短鳍鱿鱼,分布在巴西的里约热内卢到南美洲的火地岛一线离海岸数十到数百公里的海域。
