Mauve stinger

Pelagia noctiluca

Malunga negama: 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

Sihlala

Tropical and warm temperate seas worldwide, most common in the North Atlantic and Mediterranean, and all around Australia1

uLwandlekazi lweAtlantiki, uLwandlekazi lwePasifiki, uLwandlekazi lwaseIndiya, uLwandle lweMeditera, uLwandle oluBomvu

Ekhaya

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

Ubude

3 cm ukuya ku-12 cm (1,2 in ukuya ku-4,7 in)1

Esona santya siphezulu

malunga ne-0,46 km/h (0,29 mph)

Ukuqubha, uqikelelo nje

Sitya ntoni?

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

Indlela yokusiqaphela

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

Sidla ngokubhidaniswa no: 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

Amandla etyhefu yokuluma nokuhlaba

Ii-tentacle ezihlabayo

Amawaka eeseli ezincinci ezihlabayo ziyadubula xa kukho into ezichukumisayo.

Ityhefu yaso yokuluma okanye yokuhlaba yenza ntoni?

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

Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?

Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKunokuba buhlungu ngokwenene, kodwa phantse akusoze kube kubi kakhulu.

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

Senza ntoni xa soyika?

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

Ukuba siyahlaba

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
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

kufanelekile ukwazi

Iinyaniso

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

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

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

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

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

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

Umqhekezi weentsomi

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

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