Atlantic sea nettle
The Atlantic sea nettle is a jellyfish that lives along the Atlantic coast of the United States. It has a bell-shaped body and stinging tentacles that it uses to catch food and to defend itself. Its sting is painful for people, but it is not strong enough to cause death except through an allergic reaction.1

Indlela yokusibona
- Bell-shaped body that is usually semi-transparent1
- Small white dots and reddish-brown stripes on the bell1
- Typically pale, pinkish or yellowish, with deeper stripes near the edge of the bell1
- Bells without stripes look white or opaque1
- Smaller than the Pacific sea nettle1
Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: It was often confused with several other Chrysaora species, so older reports of this jellyfish from other parts of the Atlantic and other oceans may be wrong. C. chesapeakei, found in estuaries on the Atlantic coast of the United States and in the Gulf of Mexico, was only recognised as a separate species in 2017. The Atlantic sea nettle is smaller than the Pacific sea nettle and has more variable colouring.1
Amandla obuthi
Izinkulungwane zamaseli amancane ahlabayo ziyadubula uma kukhona okuzithintayo.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
Each tentacle is covered in thousands of microscopic cells that fire venom-coated stinging filaments on contact. The venom can kill smaller prey or stun predators. In people, the sting most likely causes a painful but non-lethal rash that usually lasts about 20 minutes. Some earlier reported stings in the Philippines caused vascular insufficiency (poor blood flow) and mononeuritis (inflammation of a nerve).1
Siyingozi kangakanani ebantwini?
Ingozi ebantwini: KubuhlunguKungaba buhlungu ngempela, kodwa cishe akukaze kube kubi kakhulu.Its sting is rated from moderate to severe. It is not potent enough to cause human death, except through an allergic reaction. While the sting is not particularly harmful, it can cause moderate discomfort.1
Senzani uma sesabile?
When touched, its tentacles fire venom-coated stinging filaments that stun or deter a perceived predator.1
Uma sihlaba
- Misting vinegar over the affected area can neutralise the sting. This stops unfired stinging cells from firing and adding to the discomfort.1
- Phuma emanzini bese ukhipha noma yimiphi imicu ehlabayo (ama-tentacle) (ngamagilavu noma ngendwangu).
- Kuma-box jellyfish asezindaweni ezishisayo: thela uviniga ezindaweni ezihlatshiwe okungenani imizuzwana engama-30, biza usizo futhi ulungele ukwenza i-CPR. Kuma-bluebottle nakwamanye amaningi: hlanza ngamanzi olwandle, bese usebenzisa amanzi ashisayo ngenxa yobuhlungu.
Njalo shayela kuqala inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911). Lokhu kuyiseluleko sosizo lokuqala esijwayelekile, akusona iseluleko sezokwelapha. Izisekelo zosizo lokuqala
Hlala uphephile
- Ungalokothi uthinte, ubambe noma ugcone isilwane sasendle, ngisho noma sincane, futhi ngisho noma sibukeka silele noma sifile.
- Sinike isikhala. Uma uhlangana naso, hlala uzolile, uhlehle kancane bese usiyeka sihambe ngendlela yaso.
- Uma sikuhlaba: hlala uzolile, ungashukumi, shayela inombolo yezimo eziphuthumayo (112, 000, 911) noma uye esibhedlela ngokushesha. Khumbula ukuthi besibukeka kanjani, isithombe siyasiza.
Asikuzingeli wena. Sisebenzisa ubuthi baso ukuze sibambe ukudla noma ukuzivikela, futhi singancamela ukucasha. Okwengeziwe mayelana nokuhlala uphephile

Amaqiniso
Its body has no excretory or respiratory organs.1
Its stinging cells can also entangle or anchor prey, not only inject venom.1
Sea turtles, ocean sunfish and larger jellyfish are its main natural predators.1
It has a free-swimming stage and a polyp stage, and each reproduces in a different way.1
Its body is radially symmetrical, with a single mouth at the centre of one end.1
Umqothuli wezinganekwane
Inganekwane: The Atlantic sea nettle lives in the Atlantic and other oceans around the world.
Iqiniso: Earlier reports from other oceans were often mistaken, because this jellyfish was confused with other Chrysaora species. It is known from the Atlantic coast of the United States.1
