DIf youve ever been on a fishing boat, youve probably seen crowds of birds following it， hoping to catch a snack. Now scientists use

25、 those birds behavior to track illegal fishing boats。Researchers attached data loggers to the backs of 169 albatrosses （信天翁） in Indian oceans。 Weighing only 42 grams, the devices included a GPS， which enabled them to detect the presence and intensity of radar signals emitting from boats。 That inform

26、ation was then sent by satellite， so the researchers could track the location of the birdsand thus the radaremitting boats-in real time。The scientists then cross-checked that data against the known locations of boats， collected from a system boats use to declare themselves， called the Automatic Iden

27、tification System （AIS）。 And noticeable differences appeared frequently。More than a third of the times the birds “loggers” detected radar signals， and therefore a boat, but no such boat appeared in the official logmeaning that the vehicles had likely switched off their AIS-something that probably ha

29、。 And the birds with loggers are not marked in any way。 So its not really possible for fishermen to pick out a specific bird。But what concerns researchers is that albatrosses often get caught by some fishing boats。 Though regulations have been established to protect against that happeningwith succes

30、s-illegal boats dont necessarily obey. So scientists might be underestimating the risk posed to albatross populations. 12.

D。 Their habit of following fishing boats.13. For what purpose does a boat shut off its AIS?A. To seek more fishes. B。 To have it mistaken for another。 To avoid being detected. D. To save the trouble of declaring itself。14。 What does “such a task” in Paragraph 6 refer to？A. Identifying birds wi
