Fried egg jellyfish

Cotylorhiza tuberculata

无害对人无害。不用担心。

会蜇人的触手吃：什么都来一点

The fried egg jellyfish is a jellyfish that lives in the Mediterranean, Aegean and Adriatic Seas. It gets its name from its flat, rounded body, which looks like a fried egg. Its sting has little or no effect on most people, so it is more of a nuisance than a danger.1

它吃什么？

It eats tiny drifting organisms, mostly a mix of phytoplankton (plant-like plankton) and zooplankton (animal plankton). It takes them in through its mouth arms, which carry the food to its stomach.1

怎样认出它

A smooth, raised central dome sits inside a gutter-like ring.1
The marginal lappets, the flaps around the edge of the bell, are long and roughly rectangular.1
Each mouth arm splits near its base and branches several times.1
Many short, club-shaped appendages with disc-like ends surround the mouth arms.1
Adults can reach 40 cm across, but are usually less than 17 cm wide. Older jellyfish lose colour and their bodies become damaged.1

会蜇人的触手

一碰到东西，成千上万个小刺细胞就会发射。

它对人有多危险？

对人的危险: 轻微像被蜜蜂蜇一下或更轻。对人基本无害。

Its sting has very little or no effect on humans. However, it can cause allergic reactions in more sensitive people, usually itching and scratching in the stung area. Large summer blooms mainly cause problems for tourism and fishing.1

如果它蜇人

离开水面，取下所有触手（戴手套或用布）。
热带箱水母：在蜇伤处倒醋至少 30 秒，呼救，并准备好做心肺复苏。僧帽水母和大多数其他水母：先用海水冲洗，再用热水止痛。

一定先拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）。这里是一般急救指导，不是医疗建议。急救基础

注意安全

永远不要摸、抓或逗弄野生动物，即使是很小的，即使它看起来在睡觉或已经死了。
给它留出空间。如果遇到它，保持冷静，慢慢后退，让它走自己的路。
如果被它蜇了：保持冷静，保持不动，拨打你的急救电话（112、000、911）或尽快去医院。记住它长什么样，拍张照片会有帮助。

它不是冲着你来的。它用毒液捕猎或保护自己，而且它更愿意躲起来。更多安全知识

值得了解

事实

It has algae living inside its body, which use sunlight to make energy that the jellyfish can use and store.1

Researchers have studied its effects on certain breast cancer cells, though much more work is still needed.1

Its young cannot develop properly without these algae, as the algae help start the early stage of adult form.1

Its mouth arms carry sperm to females, which fertilise the eggs inside them.1

Its population grows into large blooms every summer, and it has a yearly life cycle.1

谣言粉碎机

谣言： The fried egg jellyfish is dangerous to people because it stings.

真相： Its sting has very little or no effect on most people. Only sensitive people may react, usually with itching.1
