A strange sound called “biotwang” was first heard bouncing around the Mariana Trench 10 years
ago, and scientists have finally figured out where it comes from.
C．They are arranged in the mornings.
D．They are centered on diverse subjects.
B
Recorded by microphones deep in the ocean, the unexplained sound — a low, loud moan (哼声)
followed by a mechanical echo, like a frog burping (打嗝) in space — thundered through a computer
speaker about a decade ago. Confused researchers called it the “biotwang”.
What is the biggest bony fish in the world? That title belongs to sunfish, which can reach up to over
two tons. A recently-discovered species of this fish is Mola tecta, which was discovered by Nyegaard, a
PhD student in Australia, after a 4-year search.
“You’ve got this low-frequency portion, like a moan,” says Lauren Harrell, a data scientist at
Google Research’s AI for Social Good, adding her own impression of a hearty sigh. “Then you have the
higher-frequency component that sounds, to me, like an outer planet spacecraft — the ‘bip boo, bip boo’
sound.”
As part of her PhD research, she analyzed 150 DNA samples from sunfish off the coast of Australia
and found that, besides 3 existing species, there is another that didn’t fit with any known species. Actually,
this mysterious creature was not out of thin air. It was first put on the radar (雷达) in Australian water
about 10 years ago. The researchers at the time had found genetic evidence of a fourth species, but the
creature had not yet been found.
Confirming which marine animal makes a strange noise isn’t easy, though: it requires a person on a
boat to see and identify the source at exactly the same time the sound is heard. “It takes a lot of time, a lot
of effort and a fair amount of luck,” Allen says.
She and a team of researchers began their searches. They established a network of people who could
inform them whenever a sunfish was found. Finally, in one lucky instance they were made aware of four
sunfish that had been washed up on the beach in New Zealand. They immediately flew to take samples.
What they confirmed is that these sunfish were indeed members of the species they had been searching
for.
An international team headed by Allen, marine biologist from Swiss Federal Institute of
Technology in Zurich, and Harrell conducted a collaborative research in 2020. While surveying whales off
the Mariana Islands, Allen and other researchers saw a mysterious species called the Bryde’s whale 10
times. These whales are spread out far across the huge open ocean, so it’s hard for scientists to observe or
study them. On nine of the occasions that Bryde’s whales turned up, the researchers also heard the
biotwang. “Once, it’s a coincidence,” Allen says. “Twice is happenstance. Nine times, it’s definitely a
Bryde’s whale.”
“
The new species managed to escape discovery for centuries by ‘hiding’. That is why we named it
Mola tecta, meaning ‘hidden’ in Latin,” said Nyegaard.
The team then studied Mola tecta and found this new species has a slimmer and smoother body shape
than common sunfish, but can still grow to be 2.5 meters long.
After identifying the source, they reviewed years of audio data from underwater hydrophones to
find out where this specific whale sound had previously been heard. “Once scientists know where and
when these whales travel,” Harrell says, “AI models could connect that data to climate and environmental
factors and thus support protection efforts.”
Sunfish aren’t rare, but it’s tricky to study them. They tend to live only in areas that most humans
don’t go and they dive hundreds of meters just to feed. While they don’t need air like sea mammals, they
often surface to sunbathe and invite sea birds to pick the parasites off their bodies. Now that researchers
have confirmed the existence of the fourth sunfish, they can rest easy and excitedly learn even more about
this fish.
The technology isn’t perfect, though. “These algorithms (算法) can only search for a frequency
they know,” says Harrell. “The Bryde’s whale vocalizations change over time and between populations.
But because the tools are open-source, other scientists can use them to discover more about whale
language. We seem to be so disconnected from, or simply have no access to this amazing underwater
world of sound,” he says. “I think it’s about time that we change that.”

C．They were mainly done through interviews.
D．They involved efforts from non-professionals.
6．What makes it difficult to study sunfish?
A．Because years of audio data need to be analyzed.
B．Because enough time and a right moment are a must.
C．Because researchers lack a knowledge of marine animals.

D．Because biotwang alternates with low and high frequency

Skipping basic daily practices can signal you are having a period of depression or an emotional
breakdown. You don’t shower or brush your teeth as usual. You spend little or no time on your clothing or
hair style. Stress puts burdens on the mind and body, leading to tiredness and indifference, which can
cause a loss of happiness or lack of motivation for activities you used to enjoy.
