Craspedacusta sowerbii or peach blossom jellyfish [1] is a species of freshwater hydrozoan jellyfish, or hydromedusa cnidarian. Hydromedusan jellyfish differ from scyphozoan jellyfish because they have a muscular, shelf-like structure called a velum on the ventral surface, attached to the bell margin.
Malo kingi or the common kingslayer is a species of Irukandji jellyfish.It was first described to science in 2007, and is one of four species in the genus Malo. [1] It has one of the world's most potent venoms, even though it is no bigger than a human thumbnail. [2]
The process of producing dehydrated jellyfish typically includes the removal of the tentacles prior to drying, [6] [13] because the upper dome area of the marine animal is the part typically used for cooking. [10] Jellyfish deteriorate rapidly at room temperature so processing starts soon after they are caught.
A method of visualizing k-mers, the k-mer spectrum, shows the multiplicity of each k-mer in a sequence versus the number of k-mers with that multiplicity. [6] The number of modes in a k-mer spectrum for a species's genome varies, with most species having a unimodal distribution. [7] However, all mammals have a multimodal distribution.
Cassiopea (upside-down jellyfish) is a genus of true jellyfish and members of the family Cassiopeidae. [3] They are found in warmer coastal regions around the world, including shallow mangrove swamps, mudflats, canals, and turtle grass flats in Florida , the Caribbean and Micronesia .
A common Scyphozoan jellyfish seen near beaches in the Florida Panhandle. Most jellyfish are marine animals, although a few hydromedusae inhabit freshwater. The best known freshwater example is the cosmopolitan hydrozoan jellyfish, Craspedacusta sowerbii. It is less than an inch (2.5 cm) in diameter, colorless and does not sting. [120]
Clytia gregaria, sometimes referred to as the gregarious jellyfish, is a small species of hydrozoan in the family Campanulariidae. It is one of the most abundant hydrozoans of the Pacific Northwest , particularly during late spring and summer.
The jellyfish, C. xaymacana is known only to cause local irritation, [13] whereas C. marsupialis has toxins that can cause a burning sensation and local edema. [14] C. rastoni can be painful upon impact and result in linear and frequently four in number, ranging from 10 to 20 cm long. [ 15 ]
