The number of mucus on the highway is one of the strangest events on Sunday.
Why on the highway in the mucus?Chronologically there is a truck that contains more than 3000 kilograms of eel rolled, on the highway 101, Oregon July 13, 2017.
It turns out that the stretched animal on the 101st highway is not an eel, but an ancient creature that still lives up to now. William O'Connor revealed that the creature was a kind of jawless fish that existed 300 million years ago. William O'Connor is a biologist at Ecofact Enviromental Consultants.
This animal is called ghost or pasuk fish if in Indonesia, the animal has the most important function in the marine ecosystem that is as a predator carcasses that recycle nutrition and food for other animals.
Not only that ghost is also often consumed by humans, according to South Korean society consider ghost as exotic food.
Dimly fish, became the target of other fish prey, to make the defense of dim fish using mucus. Slime fish mucus consists of mucus and protein fibers such as protein threads. The process is when the threads decompose and mucin absorb water, mucus tissue was swollen to 10,000 times clay from its initial volume.
This slimy fish mucus very quickly dries up and becomes a sticky glue once and clog the gills, therefore the fish who want to eat it to stop its attack because it can not stand the mucus in the fish out dimly.
The incident happened on the mucus-filled toll, Fudge revealed that the mucus had been removed as well in the truck. Long-lasting fish in the tank are stressful.
