Plastic shower hose found inside dead dolphin's stomach in Florida
上个月看新闻说死去的鲸鱼妈妈体内发现约45斤的塑料垃圾,今天又看到说美国佛罗里达发现死去的海豚体内有淋浴管。
Another dead dolphin with plastic in its stomach has washed ashore in Florida. The 7-foot male dolphin was recovered from Fort Myers Beach in Big Carlos Pass, according to biologists from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission (FWC).
佛罗里达海岸又发现一只体内有塑料的死海豚。据佛罗里达州鱼类和野生动物保护委员会(FWC)的生物学家称,这只7英尺(约2.1米)长的雄性海豚是在Big Carlos Pass的Fort Myers Beach海滩上发现的。
They said the dolphin was found a few weeks ago, and a recent necropsy revealed a 24-inch hose found in the esophagus (食管)and forestomach of the animal. Samples are currently being tested to determine the exact cause of death.
他们说海豚是在几周前被发现的,最近的尸检报告显示在食道和前胃中发现了一条24英寸(约0.61米)长的软管。目前正在对样本进行进一步检测,以确定死亡的确切原因。
"Your actions can make a difference – secure and properly dispose of trash, take part in coastal cleanups and share information on how to reduce marine debris with others," the FWC wrote on Facebook.
“你的行动可以起到很大的作用:安全而正确地处理垃圾、参与净滩活动、与其他人分享如何减少海洋碎片的信息。”FWC在Facebook上写道。
This is the second stranded(搁浅) dolphin found in the last month in the area with a stomach full of plastic. In April, afemale rough-toothed dolphin was found stranded on the same beach with a piece of a balloon and two plastic bags in its stomach.
That dolphin was emaciated(瘦弱的)and in poor health, so biologists at the FWC said they had to "humanely euthanize(安乐死)" her.
这是上个月在该地区发现的第二只搁浅的体内有大量塑料垃圾的海豚。四月份,一只雌性粗齿海豚被发现搁浅在同一个海滩上,腹部有一个气球和两个塑料袋。那只海豚消瘦而且身体不好,所以FWC的生物学家说他们必须“人道地安乐死”她。
"Please remember that marine mammals strand for a reason, often the animals are sick or injured," the FWC wrote, urging people to alert trained experts rather than attempting to save a distressed animal themselves.
请记住,海洋哺乳动物之所以会搁浅,往往是因为它们生病或受伤,”FWC写道,敦促人们提醒训练有素的专家,而不是试图自己拯救一只受苦的动物。
Large amounts of garbage have been found in dead sea animals around the world in recent years. In March, a dead whale with almost 100 pounds of plastic in its stomach washed up ashore in the Philippines.
近年来,世界各地的死亡的海动物体内发现了大量的垃圾。三月份,一头腹部有将近100磅塑料的死鲸鱼在菲律宾被冲上岸。
Last November, a dead whale that washed ashore in Indonesia had a large lump of plastic waste in its stomach, including 115 plastic cups and two flip-flops. In June 2018, almost 20 pounds of plastic bags and other plastic trash were pulled from the stomach of a pilot whale that died in Thailand.
去年11月,一头死鲸鱼在印度尼西亚被冲上岸时,肚子里有一大块塑料垃圾,其中包括115个塑料杯和两个人字拖。2018年6月,从一头在泰国死亡的领航鲸的肚子里取出了近20磅的塑料袋和其它塑料垃圾。
