WORLD'S FIRST WARM BLOODED FISH

WORLDS FIRST WARM BLOODED FISH

In our nature there are many hidden things ,it must be discovered some times it may took long time to discover.But the discovery depends upon the skills of the discoverer ,It is not easy to discover some hidden things.But over scientists had discovered worlds first  warm blooded fish,which circulates ,

hot blood like mammals and birds

The silvery fish is similar in size of automobile tire,it is found in chilly,dimly lit waters

it is also called moon fish which swims very fast by help of its red pectoral fins it uses like wings in water, these kinds of fins help them to swim in the large cold oceans depth,it is reported by the team

NOAA fisheries

The warm blood advantages this fish to swim fastly and to see more clearly in deep oceans.

It turns out to be a very active predator that chases down agile prey like squid and can migrate long distances.

while looking at opah scientists recognized the unusual design  Blood vessels that carry warm blood into the fish's gills wind around those carrying cold blood back to the body core after absorbing oxygen from water.

The design in engineering is known as "COUNTER CURRENT HEAT EXCHANGE" because it is similar to car radiator its natural feature to conserves a heat.

The heat exchange location is found within gills which allows to maintain an elevated temperature even in cold ocean depths.The concept of counter-current heat exchange was invented in fish long before we thought of it," authors said,

These types of discoveries helps the scientists to know about the role of  species in maintaining balanced eco system.
