灾难性飓风“哈维”无法阻挡石首鱼忙着繁衍后代

On Aug. 25 last year, Hurricane Harvey made landfall about five miles east of Rockport, Tex.
据美国《纽约时报》12月1日的报道：2017年8月25日，飓风“哈维”在德克萨斯州石港（Rockport）东部约5英里处登录。

But amid the catastrophic destruction,one thing seemed to weather the storm quite well — spotted seatrout.They were busy making babies as the eye of the hurricane passed over their spawning grounds, a new study shows.
但在这场灾难性破坏中，有一物种--云纹犬牙石首鱼（spotted seatrout）--看似非常顺利地抵御了风暴。一项新的研究表明，在“哈维”飓风的风眼越过云纹犬牙石首鱼的产卵场时，它们正忙着繁衍后代。

“Their urge to reproduce, or that inclination, is so strong that not even a hurricane can stop them,” said Christopher Biggs, a graduate student at the University of Texas at Austin and first author of the study. The discovery,based on underwater audio recordings,was reported this month in Biology Letters.
克里斯托弗·比格斯（Christopher Biggs）是德克萨斯大学奥斯汀分校的研究生，也是此项研究的第一作者。他表示：“石首鱼繁衍后代的冲动或意愿是如此强烈，甚至连一场飓风都无法阻止它们。”这项基于水下录音的研究发现本月发表在《生物学快报》上。

The resilience of these fish suggests that they and their relatives, popular for recreational fishing in the Gulf of Mexico, might cope surprisingly well with increases in human activity and other disturbances.
这些鱼类的强适应力表明，随着人类活动和其他干扰的增加，在墨西哥湾休闲渔业中大受欢迎的这些鱼类及其亲缘物种可能应对得非常不错。
