关于金枪鱼的趣事
Tuna are amazing sea creatures(生物) with many surprising facts. When the water is warmer than 20℃, adult tuna lay millions of eggs and let baby tuna into the ocean.
Life is not easy for baby tuna. Most of the tiny baby fish get eaten by bigger animals. Some young tuna even eat each other! Only 1 out of 30 million baby tuna grows up to be an adult. It takes them four to five years to become mature(成熟的) enough to have their own babies. This tells us how important it is to protect tuna that can reproduce(繁殖).
Spawning is very tiring for tuna. They can lose 20 to 40 kilograms during this time. After spawning, they need to eat fatty food to get strong again. Every year, some recorded tuna swim from the Mediterranean Sea(地中海) to the Oresund. They go there for a big "meal" with lots of food.
Scientists like Jeppesen and Katrine Larsen study tuna. They once saw 300 tuna in one evening—the sea looked like it was boiling! They record when and where they see tuna using their phones. Larsen wants to do a research project on tuna's living habits. Marine biologists(海洋生物学家) still don't know much about tuna, but that's what makes studying them so exciting.

关于金枪鱼的趣事
金枪鱼是令人惊叹的海洋生物，有许多令人惊讶的事实。当水温高于20℃时，成年金枪鱼会产下数百万枚卵，然后让小金枪鱼进入海洋。
小金枪鱼的生活并不容易。大多数小幼鱼会被体型更大的动物吃掉。一些年幼的金枪鱼甚至会互相残食！在3000万条小金枪鱼中，只有1条能长大成年。它们需要四到五年的时间才能发育成熟，从而拥有自己的后代。这告诉我们保护能够繁殖的金枪鱼是多么重要。
产卵对金枪鱼来说非常累人。在此期间，它们的体重会减轻20到40千克。产卵后，它们需要吃高脂肪的食物来重新恢复体力。每年，一些有记录的金枪鱼会从地中海游到厄勒海峡。它们去那里享用一顿有大量食物的大餐。
像耶普森和卡特琳·拉尔森这样的科学家研究金枪鱼。他们曾经在一个晚上看到300条金枪鱼——大海看起来就像在沸腾一样！他们用手机记录下看到金枪鱼的时间和地点。拉尔森想要开展一个关于金枪鱼生活习性的研究项目。海洋生物学家对金枪鱼的了解仍然不多，但这正是研究它们如此令人兴奋的原因。
