Buckelwal

大型クジラの中で最も曲芸的なクジラのひとつであるザトウクジラは、繁殖期にオスが歌う複雑で神秘的な歌で知られており、数時間にわたって続き時間をかけて変化していきます。体長16m、体重30トンに達し、哺乳類の中で最長の回遊を行います。全海洋に分布し、協調的なバブルネット採餌でオキアミや小魚を捕食します。歴史的な捕鯨後の個体数はおおむね回復しています。

Laminariocolax tomentosoides はEctocarpales目に属する微細な褐藻で、コンブなどの大型褐藻の組織内に内生的に寄生する。宿主の皮層細胞内に分岐した糸状体のフェルト状層を形成し、茶色の変色や組織損傷を引き起こすことがある。軽度懸念と評価されており、温帯の岩礁海岸に広く分布する。
