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

Indlela yokusiqaphela
- 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
Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: 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
Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba
Amawaka eeseli ezincinci ezihlabayo ziyadubula xa kukho into ezichukumisayo.
Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?
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
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KuthambileNjengokuhlatywa yinyosi okanye ngaphantsi. Phantse asinangozi ebantwini.Its sting is weak.1
Senza ntoni xa soyika?
Its tentacles contain nematocysts, which also help protect it from predators.1
Ukuba siyahlaba
- Phuma emanzini kwaye ususe naziphi na ii-tentacle (ngeiglavu okanye ngelaphu).
- Kwiijelifishi zebhokisi (box jellyfish) zasetropiki: thela iviniga kwiindawo ezihlatyiweyo ubuncinane imizuzwana engama-30, biza uncedo kwaye ulungele ukwenza i-CPR. Kwii-bluebottle nakwezinye ezininzi: hlambulula ngamanzi olwandle, emva koko usebenzise amanzi ashushu ngenxa yeentlungu.
Soloko utsalela inombolo kaxakeka kuqala (112, 000, 911). Esi sisikhokelo soncedo lokuqala ngokubanzi, asilocebiso lwezonyango. Iziseko zoncedo lokuqala
Hlala ukhuselekile
- Ungaze uchukumise, ubambe okanye uqhule isilwanyana sasendle, nokuba sincinci, kwaye nokuba sibonakala silele okanye sifile.
- Sinike indawo. Ukuba udibana naso, hlala uzolile, buyela umva kancinci kwaye usiyeke sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Ukuba siyakuhlaba: hlala uzolile, musa ukushukuma, tsalela inombolo kaxakeka (112, 000, 911) okanye uye esibhedlele ngokukhawuleza. Khumbula ukuba sasikhangeleka njani, ifoto iyanceda.
Asikuzingeli. Sisebenzisa ityhefu yaso ukubamba ukutya okanye ukuzikhusela, kwaye singakhetha ukuzimela. Okungakumbi malunga nokuhlala ukhuselekile
Phi emhlabeni?
Sikhulu kangakanani?
Side kangakanani?
ubude obulingana neebhanana eziyi-3 zilandelelana

singaqubha ubude bechibi elikhulu lokuqubha (50 m) ngemizuzwana eyi-140U-Egg-yolk jellyfish mkhulu kangakanani xa uthelekisa NAWE?
Zizibalo nje kwibhrawuza yakho. Akukho nto igcinwayo okanye ithunyelwa naphi na.
Sikhawuleza kangakanani?
Iinyaniso
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
