【No. 0126】Bathynomus Doederleini
Apr 23, 2015 21:13
Today, I was asked to take CT scan of a bathynomus doederleini from a teacher.
The teacher is studying at woodlice and bathynomus doederleini, and he wanted to observe the inner of them.
I could obtain the 3D outer shape of the bathynomus doederleini by CT imaging, however, the inner structure was not clear.
Bathynomus doederleini and bathynomus giganteus are sorts of benthic feeder, and since they eat carcasses such as a dead fish, they are described as cleaners in the sea.
They have resistance to starvation, for example, a bathynomus giganteus in a Japanese aquarium had lived more than five years without any foods.
(Somehow, the bathynomus giganteus didn't try to eat something.)
He died during the sixth year, but the cause of death is sickness.
It remains a mystery that the reason why they can live without foods.

オオグソクムシ
今日、ある先生から頼まれて、オオグソクムシのCT撮影をしました。
その先生はダンゴムシやグソクムシの研究をしていて、今回はオオグソクムシの内部を観察してみたいとのことでした。
CTによって外形形状だけは綺麗な3Dモデルが得られましたが、内部の臓器などはうまく得られませんでした。
オオグソクムシやダイオウグソクムシは深海生物で、魚の死骸などを食べることから、海の掃除屋とも呼ばれています。
彼らは飢餓に強く、日本の水族館にいたダイオウグソクムシは、なんと5年以上も何も食べずに生きていました（そのグソクムシは、餌を与えても食べようとしないのです）。
6年目に死んでしまいましたが、死因は病気だとされています。
彼らが何故何も食べずに生きていけるのか、まだ謎のままです。

Thank you very much for correcting me!
I didn't know that the word "food" is an uncountable noun in most cases.

Most of the time "food" is uncountable, but sometimes you may see sentences like "I ate a lot of different foods when I visited Greece," which you can think of as "types of food" in shorthand.

Thank you so much for your informative comment, Sunny! (^-^)
I thought I can use "fishes," "fruits," or "peoples." (but maybe I can't use "informations," "pollutions," or "sheeps" because these words are warned by spell checker.)

I think for some select uncountable words, you can use a plural form when you want to say "many different types of _____", usually for things we know to be diverse (like people, fruits, etc.) Since it's uncommon to think of pollution or sheep as diverse, they are fully uncountable. That's how I've reasoned it out, at least. :x
