Mauve stinger

Pelagia noctiluca
O imenu: Pelagia comes from Greek and means "of the sea". Noctiluca comes from Latin and means "night light", because the jellyfish can glow in the dark.1

The mauve stinger is a small jellyfish that drifts in warm seas across much of the world. Its bell and tentacles are covered in stinging cells, so its stings hurt, even when the jellyfish is dead and washed up on a beach. Huge swarms of them can close beaches and damage fishing and fish farms.1

Živi u
Tropical and warm temperate seas worldwide, most common in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean, and all around Australia1
Atlantski ocean, Tihi ocean, Indijski ocean, Sredozemno more, Crveno more
Početna
It lives in the open sea, mostly between the surface and 150 m deep. Swarms are often carried by wind or currents onto beaches, where tourists avoid the water and fishers get stung while freeing their nets.1

Što jede?
It eats small animals such as tiny crustaceans, fish eggs and fish larvae, and also collects microscopic plant plankton. It catches prey mainly by taking particles of food in its body, and adults will eat their own young.1

Kako ga prepoznati

  • Adults have a bell 3 to 12 cm across.1
  • Colour varies from mauve and purple to pink, light brown and yellow.1
  • It has eight long tentacles and four long oral arms.1
  • Unusually for a jellyfish, both the bell and the tentacles carry stinging cells.1
  • When disturbed by waves or a ship's motion, it gives off short flashes of light at night.1

Često se miješa s: Its common name purple-striped jelly can cause confusion with Chrysaora colorata. Stings from either can cross-react, so people who have been stung by one may react to the other.1

Otrovna snaga

Krakovi koji žare

Tisuće sićušnih žarnih stanica okidaju se kad ih nešto dotakne.

Što radi njegov otrov kad ugrize ili ubode?

This jellyfish stings rather than bites. Its stinging cells cause pain, redness, swelling and a rash, and the pain typically lasts 1 to 2 weeks. Less often, people feel dizzy or are sick or have diarrhoea, and skin rashes can return years later.1

Koliko je opasno za ljude?

Opasnost za ljude: BolnoMože jako boljeti, ali gotovo nikad nije ozbiljno.

Stings are common and painful, but they are generally not dangerous and there are no known deaths. A rare serious allergic reaction can happen, and a single case of Guillain–Barré syndrome, a serious nerve condition, has been linked to a sting; all symptoms in that case cleared within 6 months.1

Što radi kad se uplaši?

Its stinging cells are used to defend it as well as to catch prey.1

Ako ubode

  • The sting may possibly be relieved with compounds called hydroxyacetophenone and Symsitive, which stop the stinging cells firing. Seek medical help if a serious allergic reaction or other symptoms develop.1
  • Izađi iz vode i skini preostale krakove (rukavicama ili krpom).
  • Kod tropskih kubomeduza: prelij ubode octom najmanje 30 sekundi, pozovi pomoć i budi spreman započeti KPR (oživljavanje). Kod portugalske galije i većine drugih: isperi morskom vodom, a zatim stavi vruću vodu protiv boli.

Ostani na sigurnom

  • Nikad ne diraj, ne hvataj i ne zadirkuj divlju životinju, čak ni malu, i čak ni ako izgleda kao da spava ili je mrtva.
  • Ostavi joj prostora. Ako je sretneš, ne paniči, polako se odmakni i pusti je da ode svojim putem.
  • Ako te neka ubode: ne paniči, miruj, nazovi broj za hitne slučajeve (112, 000, 911) ili brzo idi u bolnicu. Zapamti kako je izgledala, fotografija pomaže.

Ne želi ti ništa loše. Otrov koristi za lov hrane ili za obranu i mnogo bi se radije sakrilo. Više o sigurnosti

Činjenice

1

It glows in the dark, and a description of its light was written by Pliny the Elder in 77 AD.1

2

Unlike most jellyfish, it has stinging cells on its bell as well as its tentacles.1

3

A seven-arm octopus has been recorded holding one of these jellyfish to use its sting as a defence.1

4

Swarms can cover tens of square kilometres and contain millions of jellyfish.1

5

It can eat microscopic plant plankton, which is highly unusual for a cnidarian.1

6

It has no polyp stage, a bottom-dwelling stage that most other jellyfish go through.1

Razbijač mitova

Mit: A dead jellyfish washed up on the beach is harmless.

Istina: Even recently dead, stranded individuals can still sting.1

Males and females release sperm and eggs into the sea during daylight. The fertilised egg becomes a larva in 3 days, a tiny young jellyfish after a week, and an adult about a month later.1
