The South American sea nettle is a large jellyfish with a red-brown bell and long, spiralling arms. It drifts in the open ocean along both the Pacific and Atlantic coasts of South America. Its stinging tentacles catch the tiny animals it eats.1

Leef in

Pacific coast of Peru, south along Chile to Tierra del Fuego, and north along the Atlantic coast of Argentina, with a few records from Uruguay1

Atlantiese Oseaan

Tuis

It is a planktonic species that floats and travels with ocean currents. It usually lives near the ocean surface, in the sunlit upper layer of the sea. Blooms and strandings (when jellyfish wash up on beaches) are reported on both South American coasts.1

Wat eet dit?

It eats mainly a wide variety of zooplankton, which are tiny animals drifting in the water. It catches and kills prey with its stinging tentacles.1

Hoe om dit te herken

Red-brown bell1
Long, spiralling arms1
Thin outer tentacles that surround inner tentacles which are often white and fluffy in appearance1
Most mature individuals have a bell 25 to 40 cm across1

Word dikwels verwar met: It was historically confused with C. hysoscella. That species is now known to be restricted to the northeast Atlantic, so it is not found in South American waters.1

Gifkrag

Steektentakels

Duisende piepklein steekselle skiet af wanneer iets aan hulle raak.

Hoe gevaarlik is dit vir mense?

Gevaar vir mense: PynlikDit kan regtig seermaak, maar dit is amper nooit ernstig nie.

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

Its bell can grow up to 1 metre across, but most adults are much smaller.1

Crab larvae may form a parasitic relationship with it, using it for food and shelter.1

A single polyp can produce between 3 and 10 young jellyfish called ephyrae in about 7 to 10 days.1

Its population has increased in recent years, which may be linked to climate change and major changes to ocean ecosystems.1

Its stinging tentacles are used to catch its prey, and the adults are eaten by sea turtles and some fish.1

Mite-breker

Mite: It is the only sea nettle found in South America.

Waarheid: Despite its common name, it is not the only sea nettle in the region. C. lactea is another sea nettle found there.1
