Aurelia aurita (also called the common jellyfish, moon jellyfish, moon jelly or saucer jelly) is a species of the family Ulmaridae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] All species in the genus are very similar, and it is difficult to identify Aurelia medusae without genetic sampling; [ 3 ] most of what follows applies equally to all species of the genus.
Aurelia is a genus of jellyfish that are commonly called moon jellies, which are in the class Scyphozoa. There are currently 25 accepted species and many that are still not formally described . [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ]
Using the moon jelly Aurelia aurita as an example, jellyfish have been shown to be the most energy-efficient swimmers of all animals. [76] They move through the water by radially expanding and contracting their bell-shaped bodies to push water behind them. They pause between the contraction and expansion phases to create two vortex rings ...
Changes in ocean conditions including eutrophication, [3] hypoxia, [4] rising ocean temperatures, [2] and coastal development, among others [5] are thought to be the main causes of increasing jellyfish blooms. Little is known regarding how future environmental conditions will affect jellyfish blooms, though this is a growing field of research.
This week the surface ocean temperature of the some of the waters around Florida reached 100 degrees, near-hot tub heat levels.
This year’s summer of record-breaking, extreme heat set another milestone Monday when a buoy in Manatee Bay just off the coast southwestern Florida registered an ocean temperature of 101.1 ...
Aurelia coerulea or Asian moon jelly is a species of moon jelly in the genus Aurelia. [1] This species is native to the seas off Japan, China, Korea, and California, as well as the Mediterranean and other temperate seas. and they can also be found in coastal areas of China, Korea, California, the Mediterranean and other temperate seas.
CORA (standing for Coriolis Ocean database ReAnalysis) is a global oceanographic temperature and salinity dataset produced and maintained by the French institute IFREMER. Most of those data are real-time data coming from different types of platforms such as research vessels , profilers , underwater gliders , drifting buoys , moored buoys , sea ...
