Description

極地大發現-- 企鵝體內竟含高量戴奧辛 海洋生物有機萃取物可抗癌 臺灣海洋科學家深入南極150天, 帶你看見不為人知的冰封世界! ★魚類大都頭大身小,血液呈現白色! ★笠螺大如鮑魚,直徑長達8公分! ★身體透明、如天使降臨的「冰之精靈」,竟是肉食生物! ★海綿、海膽、陽燧足的有機萃取物可抗癌、抗發炎! ★企鵝體內含戴奧辛等有機汙染物是雞肉的20倍,豬肉的545倍! 南極是各先進國家正積極研究的新天地,臺灣由於種種原因未能參與其中。2009年,國立海洋生物博物館、正修科技大學、東華大學、中山大學與大陸南極考察隊攜手合作,臺灣研究人員得以藉由中國大陸研究船、研究站前往南極收集第一手資料,完成不可能的「零下任務」,帶回包括土壤和各類生物高達數百個樣本,可望拓展臺灣在海洋天然化學方面的視野,進一步豐富在藥物研發上的基礎。這次任務不僅可望突破臺灣科學研究的局限,也為下一世代的科學人開出一條新路。 本書除嚴謹的科學紀實,也生動描繪了極地生活種種,讀者雖無法身歷其境,卻可隨著文字一起破冰,感受全新的天地。
