Aussie research links whale 'snot' to its health condition
澳大利亚新南威尔士大学近日发布公报说，该校研究人员收集并分析了迁徙途中的鲸鱼喷出的水柱，发现从中检出的呼吸道微生物群状况是反映鲸鱼健康状况的一个潜在指标。相关论文已发表在英国《科学报告》杂志上。这是2017年11月12日在澳大利亚新南威尔士州海域拍摄的座头鲸。[新华社记者 白雪飞 摄]

For a recently published research project, scientists from Australia's University of New South Wales (UNSW) collected and analyzed samples of whale "snot" from their blow, which is similar to mucus from a human nose. They found that just like in humans, the microbial diversity and richness in whales' airways was linked to the host's overall health condition. (Xinhua/Bai Xuefei)
