【科学60秒】牡蛎味鲜美 环保价更高
听力简介:
The Chesapeake Bay could get helped by a new antipollution expert: farmed oysters. For decades, the Chesapeake has been ___1___ by excess nutrients, such as nitrogen, from agricultural and municipal run-off. The nutrients feed algal blooms, which ___2___ the oxygen in the water. And those oxygen-poor waters no longer support the Bay’s rich biodiversity.
The Chesapeake used to be home to wild oysters, but 99 percent of them are gone. The tasty bivalves are known for removing excess phytoplankton from water and ___3___ nutrients in their shells and flesh. So scientists from Virginia Commonwealth University measured the nutrient-chomping potential of the Eastern oyster Crassostrea virginica.
They tested dried tissue and shells from oysters in two aqua-culture sites. Turns out that if a farmed oyster grows to 76 millimeters, it’s a pretty effective ___4___. Eight large-scale oyster farms could clean a ton of nitrogen from the Chesapeake. The study was published in the Journal of Environmental Quality. [Colleen Higgins, Kurt Stephenson and Bonnie Brown, Nutrient Bioassimilation Capacity of Aquacultured Oysters: Quantification of an Ecosystem Service]
Such farming won’t make the bay ___5___ again, but the researchers say the oysters are effective at cleaning the area where they’re grown. And so for a biologically better Chesapeake, pass the hot sauce.
