Halong Biological Diversity
Hạ Long Bay has a very
complicated structure with its meandering coastline and many river
mouths. Rich and diversified sources of food for many species of
plants and animals are also found here. In particular, the bay,
partitioned by thousands of large and small islands, creates areas
of water with an average and stable sea level. Meanwhile, the
climate in Hạ Long Bay
is also very stable, with an average temperature of between 19 and
25ºC, and an average heat radiation rate of 17 kcal/ sq. cm/ month.
It sees an average rainfall of 2,000 to 2,200 mm/ year. These
favorable conditions have seen the development of many varied
ecosystems.
Results of scientific research show that
Hạ Long Bay features
ecosystems of a tropical ocean region, such as: salt water-flooded
forests, coral reefs and tropical rain forests.
In the sea surrounding Hạ
Long, coral grows in many places, but is densely concentrated on
the eastern and southern sides, far from the mainland. According to
research conducted by scientists from the Oceanographic Institute,
Hạ Long Bay is home to
163 species of coral, from 44 lines of descent and 12 families.
Coral reefs are distributed everywhere, generally at a depth of 4 to
6m. The coverage rate of coral reef is 30% on average, but there are
areas where it attains 70 to 80%, such as at Cống Ðỏ and Bọ Hung.
The coral forests of Hạ
Long Bay are a wonderful sight, with many extraordinary shapes
and diversified colours. When the tide flows, the coral moves with
the water, pumping as rhythmically as a heartbeat. At the same time,
the reefs are residence to a great number of species: fish (107
varieties), water plants, algae and transitory animals and plants.
The salt water-flooded forests also offer especially interesting
scenery along the coastline of
Hạ Long Bay. These
forests are chiefly concentrated in the zones of Tuần Châu, Cửa Lục
and Ba Chẽ. Many species of salt water-flooded plants, the most
diversified collection in North Vietnam, are found here. Also living
in these flooded forests are a great many species of animals:
migrating birds (37 species), sea-bottom animals (81 species) and
fish (90 species belonging to 55 families). In particular,
bottom-feeders account for 61% of the total species in the whole
tidal region, with many species being of great economic value: arcae,
meretrixes and all kinds of crustaceans.
The tropical rain forest ecosystem also features a rich quantity of
species: đinh, hương, sến, táu trees. This is the residence of
various rare and precious creatures: deer, weasels, squirrels and in
particular, white-tabby and red-haired monkeys.
At the same time, there is a system of small caves along the sea,
which are the living and development places for many animals and
plants: seaweed, water plants, algae, fish and shrimp. Deeper into
the water, there are also many species of shrimp, fish (almost 1,000
species), abalone and other sea-specialties; harvested every year to
the tune of several thousand tons.
