The fried egg jellyfish is a jellyfish that lives in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Adriatic Seas. It gets its name from its flat, rounded body, which looks like a fried egg. Its sting has little or no effect on most people, so it is more of a nuisance than a danger.1

Leef in

Mediterranean Sea, Aegean Sea and Adriatic Sea1

Atlantiese Oseaan, Middellandse See

Tuis

It is commonly found in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Adriatic Seas. Large numbers appear in coastal waters each summer, where they disrupt swimming and tourism.1

Lengte

40 cm (1,3 ft)1

Topspoed

omtrent 0,8 km/h (0,5 mph)

Swem, rowwe skatting

Wat eet dit?

It eats tiny drifting organisms, mostly a mix of phytoplankton (plant-like plankton) and zooplankton (animal plankton). It takes them in through its mouth arms, which carry the food to its stomach.1

Hoe om dit te herken

A smooth, raised central dome sits inside a gutter-like ring.1
The marginal lappets, the flaps around the edge of the bell, are long and roughly rectangular.1
Each mouth arm splits near its base and branches several times.1
Many short, club-shaped appendages with disc-like ends surround the mouth arms.1
Adults can reach 40 cm across, but are usually less than 17 cm wide. Older jellyfish lose colour and their bodies become damaged.1

Gifkrag

Steektentakels

Duisende piepklein steekselle skiet af wanneer iets aan hulle raak.

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: LigSoos 'n bysteek of minder. Basies onskadelik vir mense.

Its sting has very little or no effect on humans. However, it can cause allergic reactions in more sensitive people, usually itching and scratching in the stung area. Large summer blooms mainly cause problems for tourism and fishing.1

As dit steek

Klim uit die water en pluk enige tentakels af (met handskoene of 'n lap).
Vir tropiese kubuskwalle: gooi vir minstens 30 sekondes asyn oor die steke, roep hulp en wees gereed om KPR te doen. Vir bloublasies en die meeste ander: spoel af met seewater, dan warm water vir die pyn.

Bly veilig

Moet nooit aan 'n wilde dier raak, dit vang of terg nie, selfs nie 'n kleintjie nie, en selfs nie as dit lyk of dit slaap of dood is nie.
Gee dit spasie. As jy een raakloop, bly kalm, stap stadig terug en laat dit sy eie pad gaan.
As een jou steek: bly kalm, bly stil, bel jou noodnommer (112, 000, 911) of kom vinnig by 'n hospitaal uit. Onthou hoe dit gelyk het, 'n foto help.

Dit is nie uit om jou te kry nie. Dit gebruik sy gif om kos te vang of om homself te beskerm, en kruip baie eerder weg. Meer oor veilig bly

die moeite werd om te weet

Feite

It has algae living inside its body, which use sunlight to make energy that the jellyfish can use and store.1

Researchers have studied its effects on certain breast cancer cells, though much more work is still needed.1

Its young cannot develop properly without these algae, as the algae help start the early stage of adult form.1

Its mouth arms carry sperm to females, which fertilise the eggs inside them.1

Its population grows into large blooms every summer, and it has a yearly life cycle.1

Mite-breker

Mite: The fried egg jellyfish is dangerous to people because it stings.

Waarheid: Its sting has very little or no effect on most people. Only sensitive people may react, usually with itching.1
