科學圖說 Introduction
三張照片均拍攝水中生物行為。圖1:海馬生產,母海馬透過產卵管將卵產在雄海馬腹中的育兒囊中,經過2到3周的懷卵期,再由雄海馬孵出小海馬。連續6天凌晨12時集合,1時潛水,在即將生產的海馬爸爸旁等候,直到清晨5點太陽出來,終於捕捉到海馬爸爸孵出小海馬的瞬間。圖2:頭足類的捕食瞬間,拍攝章魚游泳,記錄牠捕食的剎那。圖3:海蝶螺是浮游性貝類,夜潛時觀察得特別清楚,泳姿優雅,彷彿一雙擺動的美麗翅膀。
These three images depict various marine animal behaviors. Image 1 is of a seahorse giving birth. Female seahorses transfer eggs via their ovipositor to the brood pouch of a male. After two to three weeks, juvenile seahorses are released by the male. For six consecutive days, we gathered at 12 o’clock midnight and began diving at 1 o’clock, waiting near the seahorse father until 5 o’clock. Finally, we captured images of brood release. Image 2 is of a foraging cephalopod. As I was photographing this octopus as it was swimming, it struck its prey. Image 3 is of a holoplanktonic gastropod. At night, it resembles a pair of beautiful wings swaying back and forth.
