中国国家安全部周五表示,外国情报机构正利用“间谍龟”和“间谍鱼”在中国海域从事间谍活动。
该部门在微信社交媒体平台的一篇帖子中写道,“一场看不见的隐秘间谍战目前正在中国沿海海域上演”。
报道称,近年来,海外间谍机构“通过各类新型间谍装备持续收集窃取敏感海洋数据”,其中就包括“间谍龟和间谍鱼”。

该部门声称,在中国部分海域,“体型相对较大的海洋活体动物被安装了传感器,它们会在特定区域游动、收集海洋数据并将数据传输至海外卫星”,但未提供发现这些动物的具体地点,也未提及怀疑哪些国家主导了所谓的间谍活动。
其他被列出的设备包括“探测浮标”、“新型波浪滑翔机”以及船舶上搭载的设备。
该帖子称,外国间谍机构多年来一直试图分析中国海军活动、绘制该国沿海“水下地图”,并监视其近海油气储量。
该部门呼吁研究人员、渔民和船主保持警惕,“举报可疑设备”。
中国此前曾奖励上交所谓海事间谍设备的垂钓者。据哥伦比亚广播公司新闻的合作媒体英国广播公司新闻报道,部分协助调查的人员最高可获得5万元人民币(约合7.3万美元)的奖励。
中国国家安全部门的此番说法并非首次有人声称海洋动物被用于破坏活动。2019年,一头白鲸在挪威海岸被发现,其身上佩戴的背带似乎带有小型相机安装座,这引发了人们的猜测,认为这头白鲸曾被训练为俄罗斯海军从事间谍活动。
莫斯科方面从未作出官方回应。
2023年,英国军方称俄罗斯似乎正在训练海豚用于作战,以对抗乌克兰军队。英国国防部表示,这些动物“很可能被用于对抗敌方潜水员”。
China says “spy turtles” and “spy fish” deployed by foreign intelligence agencies snooping in its waters

Foreign intelligence services are using “spy turtles” and “spy fish” to snoop on China, the country’s Ministry of State Security said Friday.
“An unseen covert war of espionage is currently unfolding” in the seas around China’s coast, the ministry wrote in a post on the WeChat social media platform.
In recent years, overseas spy agencies have been “continuously collecting and stealing sensitive maritime data through various new types of espionage equipment,” it said, including “spy turtles and spy fish.”

In certain Chinese waters, “relatively large living marine animals have been fitted with sensors to swim in specific areas, collect ocean data, and transmit it to overseas satellites,” the ministry claimed, without providing details on where the animals had been found or which nations they suspected of overseeing the alleged espionage.
The other devices listed included “detection buoys,” “a new type of wave glider,” and equipment on ships.
The post said foreign spy agencies had for years tried to analyze Chinese naval activities, create “underwater maps” of the country’s maritime coastline and monitor its offshore oil and gas deposits.
The ministry urged researchers, fishermen and vessel owners to remain vigilant and “report suspicious devices.”
China has previously rewarded anglers for turning in alleged maritime spy devices. Some have received up to 50,00 yuan (about $73,000) for their help, according to CBS News’ partner network BBC News.
The Chinese ministry’s assertion isn’t the first claim of marine animals being deployed for sabotage. In 2019, a Beluga whale turned up on the Norwegian coast wearing a harness that appeared to have a mount for a small camera, sparking speculation that it had been trained to spy for the Russian navy.
Moscow never issued an official reaction.
In 2023, the British military said Russia appeared to be training dolphins for combat to counter Ukrainian forces. The animals were “likely intended to counter enemy divers,” said the British defense ministry.
