鳕

Only half of that traffic turned out to be lingcod; the other half were salmon sharks.

其中只有半数被证明是蛇鳕经过时留下的，剩下的一半则是马哈鲨的痕迹。

By the time of my visit, the team had tagged 14 lingcod.

我刚刚到访的那个时候，团队已经标记了14条蛇鳕。

To date, all the tagged lingcod have eluded this fate.

迄今为止，所有的标记蛇鳕都躲过了这一劫。

"The lingcod mouth is just cavernous," he points out in a photo he took while diving among them.

&蛇鳕的嘴就是一个大洞&，他在一张潜水时拍摄的照片中指出。

Some lingcod moved 4 to 6 kilometers away from their home pinnacle, but ultimately returned to it, Reynolds said.

部分蛇鳕游离所居住的礁石4至6千米远，但最终还是回到了原处。雷诺兹说。

Red pretty much disappears at a depth of 30 feet, Reynolds explains, while lingcod spend most of their lives down at 100 to 200 feet.

红色在30英尺（1英尺=30.48厘米）的深度就基本上消失不见了。雷诺兹解释说，蛇鳕大部分时间生活在100至200英尺的水下。

The large number of detections made sense: Lingcod had been tagged near this receiver in the first place, and for them the area was probably home.

大量的数据充分表明：起初蛇鳕在接收器附近被标记，对于它们来说该区域就很可能是安家之处。

In this fashion, one fish at a time, Bishop and Reynolds are placing the lingcod into the larger ecological portrait of the sound and, from there, into the Pacific Ocean and the full tide of marine life.

以一次一条的方式，比肖普和雷诺兹把蛇鳕放入更大的生态圈中，也就是说，从那儿开始，进入了太平洋和全球海洋生物的大潮中。

Over the past couple of decades, authorities fear, lingcod stocks in some areas along the Pacific coast have been dangerously depleted by overfishing.

在过去的几十年中，当局担心太平洋沿岸的部分地区蛇鳕的库存会因过度捕捞而面临枯竭。

Next, two lingcod registered their presence in the data stream—both males, according to identification records in Reynolds's waterproof notebook.

接下来，两条蛇鳕在数据流中登记了它们的行踪——从雷诺兹的水下记录来看，都是雄性。

It seems likely that Kraft will return with a better offer.

看起来卡夫要重新考虑一个更好的出价了。

But he'd rather burn off my feelers and watch me squirm.

可他却放任那个家伙对我为所欲为！
