Russian term

тысячи обитателей водных просторов

Russian to English Science Environment & Ecology
Это позволяет не только быстрее очистить водную поверхность от загрязнений, но и спасти жизнь тысячам обитателям водных просторов.

Имеются в виду обитатели морей и океанов.

Мне, в принципе, нравится wildlife of the oceans, но как тогда быть с "тысячами"?

Discussion

Jack slep Oct 2, 2006:
Wildlife more commonly refers to fauna (animals) than to flora (plants). Marine fauna leaves out flora, i.e., seaweed, phytoplankton, so you need something that covers flora and fauna, like, for instance, aquatic inhabitants
Vitaly Kisin Oct 2, 2006:
Это перевод перевода? "тысячам обитателям"... Однако грамматики!
Andrew Vdovin (asker) Oct 2, 2006:
Yes, David, thank you.
David Knowles Oct 2, 2006:
You've got enough variant for me not to add any more, but I'd just like to point out a difference between English and Russian. It would normally be "to save the LIVES of thousands of ...".
Vladimir Dubisskiy Oct 2, 2006:
Please, disregard. Just like mine better :-))
Andrew Vdovin (asker) Oct 2, 2006:
Why 'vs'? Both are OK, I believe.
Vladimir Dubisskiy Oct 2, 2006:
and it's "ocean wildlife" vs 'wildlife of the oceans'

thousands of ocean and sea inhabitants

Если уж так нужны «обитатели». А так и мне больше нравится «wildlife». Ещё вариант: «ocean fauna».
