A barrel jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo), one of the most common jellyfish species in our coast.

Because of the rising temperature of the Mediterranean sea resulting of global warming, every time there are more jellyfish. In the last 3 years, the number of jellyfish in our coast has reached an all-time high. Because of the higher water temperature, jellyfish reproduce more, more species go to the northern parts of the sea, and they approach the coast for many months when they used to only do so for 2 weeks to 2 months. Overfishing has also increased the number of jellyfish, because it has decreased the population of many of its natural predators such as sea turtles.

Jelly n.45 - 🪝 DUMSUN 🪝

● It uses the hooks of its tentacles to eat as if they were fishing rods.

● The color of its hooks attracts all kinds of fish. To their grave.

Rhizostomae or Rhizostomeae is an order of jellyfish. Species of this order have neither tentacles nor other structures at the bell's edges. Instead, they have eight highly branched oral arms, along which there are suctorial minimouth orifices. (This is in contrast to other scyphozoans, which have four of these arms.) These oral arms become fused as they approach the central part of the jellyfish. The mouth of the animal is also subdivided into minute pores that are linked to coelenteron.

Jellyfish on the Beach

I went for a morning walk and tons of jellyfish were washed up on shore, so this is a small jellyfish appreciation post:)

I saw some of which I am fairly sure they are Compass Jellyfish or Chrysaora hysoscella. They are so pretty, however, I have also heard they have got quite a nasty sting. Anyway they have such pretty shades of red, I just love them <3

I also found some, I think, Barrel Jellyfish or Rhizostoma pulmo. They were also soooo pretty, but it was also a bit sad seeing them washed up like that, but that might just be me. Eitherway, they were gorgeous.

What has no heart and no brain? No, it’s not your ex… it’s the barrel jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo). Also known as the dustbin-lid jellyfish (yes, really), this species can reach an impressive 35 in (90 cm) in diameter and can weigh up to 77 lbs (35 kg)! Like other jellies, this critter relies on its nervous system to function.

Пятнистая австралийская медуза Phyllorhiza punctata.

Пятнистая австралийская медуза - один из видов пелагических медуз, распространенный в южном регионе Тихого океана, на Гавайях, в Австралии, на Карибах и в Мексиканском заливе. Средний диаметр ее колок��ла 45-50 см, но в водах Персидского залива, медузы вырастают до необычно больших размеров, свыше 60 см в диаметре. Ожоги вызываемые этими медузами слабые и не являются опасными для человека. Массовое размножение пятнистых австралийских медуз может представлять угрозу для популяций промысловых рыб, поскольку они поедают зоопланктон, икру и мальков. Каждая особь этого вида медуз может пропускать через щупальца около 13 000 литров морской воды в сутки, заглатывая при этом большое количество планктонных организмов, мальков рыб и некрупных пелагических животных.

Australian spotted jellyfish Phyllorhiza punctata.

The Australian spotted jellyfish is a species of pelagic jellyfish found in the South Pacific, Hawaii, Australia, the Caribbean and the Gulf of Mexico. The average diameter of its bell is 45-50 cm, but in the waters of the Persian Gulf, jellyfish grow to unusually large sizes, over 60 cm in diameter. The burns caused by these jellyfish are weak and are not dangerous to humans.Mass reproduction of Australian spotted jellyfish can pose a threat to commercial fish populations as they eat zooplankton, eggs and fry. Each individual of this type of jellyfish can pass about 13,000 liters of sea water per day through its tentacles, while swallowing a large number of planktonic organisms, fish fry and small pelagic animals.

JELLYFISH VS SQUID ANON HERE AND YOU CHOSE THE CORRECT ANSWER CONGRATULATIONS (jellyfish are my special interest and I will talk about them to whoever's willing to listen)

Have some jellyfish I like as a gift and token of goodwill (I have to give up anonymity for it but it's worth it I promise)

Egg yolk jellyfish - Phacellophora camtschatica

Moon jellyfish, a classic - Aurelia Aurita

Blue cannonball jellyfish - stomolophus meleagris

Various sea nettles - Chrysaora genus

Barrel jellyfish - Rhizostoma Plumo

AND MY FAVORITE JELLYFISH EVER !!

Stygiomedusa Gigantea, commonly known as the GIANT PHANTOM JELLYFISH. Cool as hell, sighted about 110 times in 110 years. Yeah. That species doesn't actually have any stinging tentacles: the fabric-like arms extending out of under the bell are its oral arms, used to guide prey towards its mouth.

It has a symbiotic relationship with a fish - Thalassobathia pelagica - in which the fish rids it of parasites in exchange for the protection of the phantom's bell. They live in deep waters, around 6000 feet deep. Despite having been sighted very few times compared to other species, they seem to be living in every ocean except the arctic.

Final fact about them: They name is latin for "Giant jellyfish of the Styx river".

Thank you for your time, I hope you enjoyed reading this.

whoa those are some cool jellyfish!! thank you for enlightening me to the existence of such gorgeous creatures /gen
