Chroococcus submarinus is a species of cyanobacteria in the family Chroococcaceae, documented from saline and brackish aquatic environments. The specific epithet submarinus indicates an association with marine or nearshore saline habitats, distinguishing this species from the many Chroococcus species found exclusively in freshwater. Cyanobacteria are notably tolerant of a wide range of salinities, and the genus Chroococcus includes species from freshwater, brackish, marine, and hypersaline environments. In marine and coastal habitats, cyanobacteria contribute significantly to nitrogen fixation, particularly in oligotrophic tropical and subtropical seas where they can fix atmospheric nitrogen into biologically available forms, subsidizing productivity. Chroococcus submarinus, like other members of the genus, consists of spherical cells occurring in pairs or small groups within gelatinous sheaths. Marine cyanobacteria are important components of coastal biofilms on rocky shores, seagrass meadows, and other benthic habitats. The species has been recorded from European coastal and semi-saline environments. As a prokaryotic microorganism, it has not been assessed under IUCN criteria, and detailed ecological studies specific to this species remain limited.

苍鹭

苍鹭是一种体高可达1米的大型优雅涉禽,栖息于欧洲、亚洲和非洲各地的湿地、河流、湖泊和沿海地区。它是耐心的独自捕食者,能长时间静立不动,然后以闪电般的匕首状喙猛击捕捉鱼类、蛙类和小型哺乳动物。在称为鹭群的集体繁殖地的高树上群居繁殖,有时与其他集群水鸟共栖。在全球范围内广泛分布,属无危物种。
