Egg-yolk jellyfish
The egg-yolk jellyfish is a very large jellyfish with a bright yellow centre that looks like a fried egg. It lives in cool seas across most of the world's oceans and is most common in the Northern Pacific. It is special because it can grow very large, and it is one of the few jellyfish that can survive in low-oxygen water.1

Jinsi ya kumtambua
- A yellow centre that looks like a broken egg yolk, surrounded by opaque white tissue1
- A large bell, sometimes close to 60 cm across1
- 16 clusters of tentacles, each with up to a few dozen tentacles, and each tentacle up to 6 m long1
- Broad, curtain-like oral arms1
- Mostly drifts with the current, with only limited movement1
Mara nyingi huchanganywa na: The lion's mane jellyfish (Cyanea capillata) is sometimes confused with this species. The smaller Cotylorhiza tuberculata, which is found mainly in warmer water, especially in the Mediterranean Sea, is also called a fried egg jellyfish.1
Nguvu ya sumu
Maelfu ya seli ndogo za kudunga hufyatuka kitu kikizigusa.
Sumu yake hufanya nini?
Its tentacles contain nematocysts, stinging cells that help it catch prey. Its sting is weak, which allows some small animals to ride on its bell and steal food from its arms and tentacles.1
Ana hatari gani kwa watu?
Hatari kwa watu: HafifuKama kudungwa na nyuki au chini ya hapo. Kimsingi hana madhara kwa watu.Its sting is weak.1
Hufanya nini akiogopa?

Akidunga
- Toka majini na uondoe vipande vya mikono iliyonata (kwa glavu au kitambaa).
- Kwa yavuyavu sanduku wa kitropiki: mimina siki kwenye sehemu zilizodungwa kwa angalau sekunde 30, omba msaada na uwe tayari kufanya CPR. Kwa mabotoli ya bluu na wengine wengi: suuza kwa maji ya bahari, kisha maji ya moto kupunguza maumivu.
Daima piga namba ya dharura kwanza (112, 000, 911). Huu ni mwongozo wa jumla wa huduma ya kwanza, si ushauri wa kitabibu. Misingi ya huduma ya kwanza
Kaa salama
- Kamwe usimguse, kumkamata wala kumchokoza mnyama wa porini, hata akiwa mdogo, na hata akionekana amelala au amekufa.
- Mpe nafasi. Ukikutana naye, tulia, rudi nyuma polepole na umwache aende zake.
- Akikudunga: tulia, usitikisike, piga namba yako ya dharura (112, 000, 911) au nenda hospitali haraka. Kumbuka alivyoonekana, picha husaidia.
Hakuwindi wewe. Hutumia sumu yake kukamata chakula au kujilinda, na hupendelea zaidi kujificha. Zaidi kuhusu kukaa salama

Ana kasi gani?
Ukweli
Its tentacles can reach up to 6 m long, which is far longer than its bell.1
It has no gills, lungs or circulatory system. It takes in oxygen through its thin body surface instead.1
The giant deep-sea octopus Haliphron atlanticus clings to this jellyfish and eats its oral arms and stomach.1
It can survive in low-oxygen water for several hours at a time, and it sometimes dives into these zones during the day to avoid competition.1
Small crabs and an amphipod called Hyperia medusarum can live on its bell, and some feed on the parasites that infest the jellyfish.1
