Box Jellyfish Chirp!

I always make sure to mention this at every chance I get, but a box jellyfish put into an ideal position (so this one, basically- it's the only one I've seen actually make this noise) will chirp

// ok, "whistle" is probably the most correct term in this situation since I believe the sound is just air coming out of the jelly's velarium (what water typically passes through when the jelly swims underwater)

but the sound is close enough to a chirp that I just call it that. It's cuter that way, imo

gonna preface this with i don't think vinegar is a cure for *every* jellyfish sting, but i don't actually know a lot about this. I'm going to use the box jellyfish as a case study, referencing this paper:

https://www.nature.com/articles/s41467-019-09681-1

box jellyfish venom is: "bioactive proteins that can cause potent haemolytic activity, cytotoxicity, membrane pore formation, inflammation, in vivo cardiovascular collapse and lethal effects in experimental animals"

so basically, proteins that fuck your shit up.

now vinegar is a weak acid (meaning it doesn't fully dissociate) with a pH of like...2-3ish. Based on my knowledge of proteins, many of them need highly specific environments to survive, so changing the pH can disrupt their function by causing them to denature.

please feel free to add more info/correct me, this is just a guess :3

hey scienceblr i have a really random question.

so you know how you’re supposed to soak a jellyfish sting in vinegar. what would happen if you soaked a jellyfish in vinegar? would it’s stinger just deactivate?

i’m actually like really curious but google will only tell me about stings so any actual help would be much appreciated :)

Newly discovered jellyfish is a 24-eyed weirdo related to the world's most venomous marine creature

Researchers named the newfound species Tripedalia maipoensis, after Mai Po Nature Reserve in Hong Kong, where they discovered the transparent critter.

Scientists in Hong Kong have discovered tiny, cube-shaped box jellyfish in a brackish shrimp pond that are completely unknown to science.

The diminutive jellies have a completely transparent and colorless body, or bell, as well as 12 tentacles ending in small, paddle-like structures that enable the critters to speed through water faster than most other jellyfish species.

Like other box jellies — a group of Cnidarians that includes the Australian box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri), the world’s most venomous marine animal, according to the National Ocean Service— the newly described jellies have 24 eyes arranged in clusters of six around its cubic bell.

"This box jellyfish connects the base of its tentacles and its bell with a flat base that looks like a boat paddle, making it distinct from other common jellyfish," Qiu Jianwen, a professor in the Department of Biology at Hong Kong Baptist University who led the research, said in a video. "Another feature of the box jellyfish is that it has six eyes located on each side of its body."

Researchers named the newfound species Tripedalia maipoensis after Mai Po Nature Reserve in Hong Kong, where they found it. They describe its features and relationship to other box jellies in a study published March 20 in the journal Zoological Studies.

T. maipoensis is the first-ever box jelly to be found in Chinese waters. It is unclear whether the half-inch-long (1.5 centimeters) animal can sting humans, but it may be venomous enough to stun tiny shrimp called Artemia. "It seemed to paralyze Artemia offered in the lab," Qiu told Live Science in an email. "But we did not touch the animal to feel the sting."

The researchers first noticed the unusual creatures in samples collected from an intertidal shrimp pond, known as a "gei wai" locally, during the summers of 2020 to 2022. The jellyfish were "quite abundant," Qiu told Live Science, numbering "up to 400 individuals in an area of the pond." A tidal channel from the brackish pool means that the species could also be present in the adjacent waters of the Pearl River estuary, but no work has been done yet to confirm this, the researchers wrote in the study.

Box jellyfish, which are also known as sea wasps, move by allowing water to enter canals that run along a muscular membrane on the underside of their bodies and then expelling it. The researchers found that, unlike closely related species, T. maipoensis has forked canals separating into multiple branches. The newly discovered species is the third known member of a group of box jellies characterized by tentacles ending in flat, paddle-like structures, called Tripedalia.

Avispa de mar: características, dónde vive, qué come y picadura

Bajo el nombre científico de Chironex fleckeri se esconde el que es considerado el animal más venenoso del planeta, la avispa de mar. Un único ejemplar de estas medusas contiene una cantidad de veneno suficiente para matar hasta 600 personas, de manera que, desde 1954, se estima que estas medusas han sido responsables de más de 5.500 muertes. Su potencial mortal se ha visto también reflejado en el cine, donde parece como causa de la muerte de algunos personajes en algunas películas.

Si alguna vez te has preguntado cuál es la medusa más peligrosa del mundo y te interesa saber más acerca de ello, desde EcologíaVerde te damos la respuesta a través de este articulo en el que te hablamos sobre la avispa de mar, sus características, dónde vive, qué come y su picadura.

También te puede interesar: Medusas del Mediterráneo

Características de la avispa de mar

Estas son las principales características de la medusa avispa de mar:

Es considerada una de las criaturas más venenosas y letales del planeta.

Otros nombres que se le otorgan incluyen medusa cofre, medusa de caja, cubomedusa o medusa cubozoa.

Estos nombres que vienen dados por el cuerpo en forma cuadrada que les caracteriza, desde donde se alargan los 60 tentáculos que presenta de unos 80 centímetros de longitud, pudiendo estos llegar a alcanzar hasta 3 metros de largo en fase adulta.

El tamaño de la avispa de mar oscila entre los 10 y 20 centímetros, sin contar los tentáculos, pudiendo alcanzar un tamaño similar a un balón de baloncesto, y se caracterizan también por tener un tono azul pálido, ser translúcidas y brillantes en la oscuridad.

Su vida es bastante reducida, con una esperanza de vida que va desde los tres meses hasta el medio año.

Como curiosidades de la avispa de mar y, diferencia destacada respecto otras medusas, es que presentan cuatro grupos de 20 ojos, mientras que la mayoría de las medusas son ciegas. Aun así, todavía se desconoce si ven como tal a través de ellos. Esta elevada cantidad de ojos, junto con los numerosos órganos sensoriales que tienen, compensarían su carencia de cerebro.

Dónde vive la avispa de mar

Tras conocer algunas de sus características más importantes, otra duda que nos asalta habitualmente es saber dónde se encuentra la avispa de mar, es decir, ¿dónde nos la podemos encontrar?

Las avispas de mar habitan principalmente aguas tropicales del Norte de Australia, generalmente desplazadas hacia la costa debido a las corrientes marinas. Aquí cohabitan con uno de sus seres cercanos, la irukandji (Carukia barnesi), una diminuta medusa del mismo orden que la avispa de mar y que es conocida por provocar el síndrome de irukandji, una enfermedad rara detectada por vez primera en 1922 que provoca fuertes dolores, taquicardia, náuseas, sudoración e hipertensión acabando con la muerte de la víctima.

La medusa de caja también habita por todo el océano Indico y Pacífico. No obstante, se han detectado ejemplares también en zonas de Nueva Guinea, Vietnam y Filipinas. Aunque la avispa de mar tiene una distribución geográfica amplia y pueden desplazarse grandes distancias, los adultos tienden a permanecer en áreas pequeñas restringidas. Aun así, todavía se está estudiando la presencia de esta medusa en otros lugares del océano.

Además, durante los meses de octubre y mayo, las avispas de mar se aproximan a las costas para reproducirse y, debido a este suceso, en numerosos lugares como, por ejemplo, Queensland en el noroeste de Australia, se prohíba el baño durante este periodo. Aquí puedes aprender un poco más acerca de Cómo se reproducen las medusas.

Qué come la avispa de mar

Como el resto de las medusas, las avispas de mar se alimentan de plancton y pequeños animales marinos. Por lo general, su alimentación se limita en aquello que llegue a ellas, ya que no cazan y por lo tanto no van a buscar alimento. En algunas ocasiones, además de comer plancton, algunos de los animales marinos pequeños que hemos mencionado que comen, también pueden ser medusas de menor tamaño, por lo que se convierten en depredadoras de otras especies de medusas. A través de sus tentáculos urticantes, estas medusas consiguen atrapar y matar a sus presas fácilmente.

En cuanto a los depredadores de al avispa de mar, la tortuga verde (Chelonia mydas) puede alimentarse de avispas de mar, ya que la gruesa piel que presenta evita que sean picadas de forma grave por esta peligrosa especie.

Veneno y picadura de la avispa de mar

A lo largo de sus tentáculos, las avispas de mar presentan millones de ganchos microscópicos (hasta cinco mil millones), llamados cnidocitos, llenos de veneno en su interior. Una sola picadura da lugar a necrosis de la piel y dolores extremos, y este veneno contiene una mezcla compleja de proteínas y toxinas que es miotóxica, hemolítica, dermonecrótica y letal, pues atacan al corazón, al sistema nervioso y al sistema respiratorio, además de a las propias células cutáneas y musculares de la zona que recibe la picadura.

En los seres humanos pueden provocar la muerte por paro cardíaco o parálisis por el dolor en cuestión de minutos. De hecho, el dolor que provoca el más mínimo roce con la medusa es tan intenso que puede provocar el shock en la víctima y, al estar en el agua, esta ahogarse, pues no suele dar tiempo a llegar a la orilla.

Con relación a otras medusas, se ha determinado que el dolor causado por el veneno de la avispa de mar es, como mínimo, 10 veces más potente que el de la carabela portuguesa (Physalia physalis) y, al menos, varios órdenes de magnitud más potente que el de la ortiga de mar (Chrysaora quinquecirrha). También se ha visto que, con el contacto muy leve con las avispas de mar y en el que la víctima ha logrado sobrevivir, este veneno causa importantes marcas con cicatrices en la piel similares a las que dejan un latigazo profundo.

Como dato interesante, a mediados del año pasado, investigadores de la Universidad de Sydney, en Australia, descubrieron un antídoto contra la picadura de las medusas avispas de mar, con el cual están en proceso de desarrollar una aplicación tópica para humanos.

Ahora que conoces bien a esta medusa, te animamos a conocer a otras con este otro artículo de EcologíaVerde acerca de los Cnidarios: características y ejemplos. Además, aquí puedes ver un vídeo sobre estas medusas.
