Notes
- Abstract:
- A bloom of the edible jellyfish Cephea cephea
(Forskål, 1775) in the Red Sea is reported here from archived
photographic evidence. Animals (10–20 cm wide) were observed in seven different reefs and accumulated at high densities on some beaches of Marsa Alam, Egypt. Various coral
reef fishes preyed on this temporary resource. Although the
jellyfish is native to the Red Sea, this is the first record of such
an event in this ecosystem, and only the second record of this
phenomenon since the 1800s
- Acquisition:
- Collected for University of Curacao's Institutional Repository by the UFIR Self-Submittal tool. Submitted by Janice Simon.
