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 yokusibona
- 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
Ivamise ukudidaniswa ne: 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 obuthi
Izinkulungwane zamaseli amancane ahlabayo ziyadubula uma kukhona okuzithintayo.
Ubuthi baso benzani?
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: KuncaneNjengokuhlatshwa yinyosi noma ngaphansi. Cishe akunangozi ebantwini.Its sting is weak.1
Senzani uma sesabile?
Its tentacles contain nematocysts, which also help protect it from predators.1
Uma sihlaba
- 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

Yizibalo nje kusiphequluli sakho. Akukho okulondolozwayo noma okuthunyelwa ndawo.
Sishesha kangakanani?
Amaqiniso
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

- Eggs are fertilised and develop into swimming larvae called planulae. These settle on the seabed and grow into polyps, which later release young jellyfish called ephyrae.1
