Moon Jellyfish are ‘2 to ‘15 inches,so it’s hard to tell its weight. Moon Jellyfish are Invertebrates so they eat Mollusks,Crustaceans ,Tunicate Larvae, Copepods , Rotifers, and Nematodes.Even though moon jellyfish are beautiful and the most common,they also have enemies like the Sea Bird, Leatherback Turtle, Sunfish, and Humans.

Blue Bottle Jellyfish (Physalia utriculus): has an air sac for a float and long blue tentacles which can be up to 10 metres long (the Blue Button's tentacles are short).

Other than the ability to live for ever it’s really not that special. Having up to 90 tentacles only 4.5mm in width it’s smaller than your fingernail. It was discovered in the Mediterranean Sea, but has been in areas as far away as japan. It’s mostly transparent, except for it’s red stomach. Which they fill with small mollusks, fish eggs and planton. Which they catch like any other jellyfish, with a stinging cell.

The Irukandji is another potent jellyfish that has caused several fatalities. Mostly common to Northern Australia in deeper waters, they have been known to periodically come into shallow waters by ocean currents. It is one of the smallest of the Cnidarians and can really pack a punch for its size. It is only one inch in length and has four tentacles that are also about one inch in length. They are virtually impossible to spot because of their size and

Where do they live? They live in Africa mostly but they can also be found in Asia. They can be

If we are in deep waters we stay near the surface. We live in warm tropical waters in the Atlantic, Indian, and Pacific oceans. We mostly eat sponges, anemones, squid, shrimp, and of course, jellyfish!

The Impact Lionfish is quite dangerous because they damage marine aquatic ecosystems by decimating life on reefs. The way lionfish causes the damage is by eating small fish who keep the reefs healthy. Lionfishes can live a while without eating. While being 3 months or longer that they don’t really have to eat. Which can help them live while unlike the food they eat can’t survive that long without eating.

However, if theey nests are disturbed, they tend to attack the intruder in swarms. Its worth noting however, that while their stings are painful, yet not lethal, certain inviduals may experience a lethal allergic reacton, known as anaphylactic shock.

The male Acheta domesticus show behaviors of aggression to increase their chances for reproduction with females and improve their fitness. The resident males are more likely to win in combats against non-resident males in environments with a higher value of resources. Studies have also shown that when female chemical cues are present, the violent behaviors in resident males increase, which leads to better success in contests. Consequently, when the resource amount is low in a habitat and there are no female odors, the invaders or non-residents are found to be more probable to win (Buena and Walker 2008). This suggests that information symmetry or the amount of information each male knows about an area is a crucial part in fighting contests not only for the A. domesticus, but also for all animals.

seen to sustain upon lionfish, on the other hand, no studies have associated predation on

Cnidarians can live in any Marine environment. They can live in freshwater and seawater, but for all groups of Cnidarians very few live in freshwater. The jellyfish that live in freshwater tend to be less dangerous, as in a less powerful sting from their tentacles, and Sea Anemones that live in Tropical waters tend to grow to enormous sizes. All three groups of Cnidarians tend to live in the deeper water,

Physical Description: The moon jelly's body consists of a membrane in the shape of a bell, a mouth with oral arms, mucus lining its mouth, and short tentacles. It has no eyes, no brain, no heart, and no blood. The moon jelly has a hydrostatic skeleton, and even though it does not have a central nervous system, it has a nerve network that detects touch and light.

This article contained the most information of the four articles provided. The authors provided very detailed information about each of the factors that lead to the jellyfish population increase, most of which are backed by science. They divided the information by the five causes that lead the growth of the jellyfish, which are defined as overfishing, eutrophication, climate change, translocations and habitat modification and provided evidence to support each point. They state that there are many reasons that can affect the growth of jellyfish and can lead to a drastic change in the marine food chain. Richardson et al. organized the material well and provided enough information to convey the idea clearly though some information under the five causes did not have that much scientific

Auricle, tragus, lobule all present and symmetrical bilaterally. Auricle aligns with canthus of each eye, and has 10-degree angle of the vertical position bilaterally. Earlobes are free. Skin smooth, no lesions, lumps, or nodules. No discharge present. Color consistent with face bilaterally. Auricle, tragus, and mastoid process are nontender bilaterally. Scant amount of yellow cerumen in external auditory canal bilaterally with no edema, drainage, redness, or swelling noted. Right tympanic membrane is pearly grey, shiny, translucent, no bulging noted. Cone of light present at 5 o’clock. Umbo and handle of malleus visible. Left tympanic member is pearly grey, shiny, translucent, no bulging noted. Cone of light present at 7 o’clock with umbo

For the paramecium to move forward, its cilia beat on an angle, backward in unison. The paramecium moves by spiraling through the water. For the paramecium to move backward, the cilia beat forward on an angle at the same time. If the paramecium runs into a solid object, the cilia changes its direction and beats forward, which makes the paramecium go backward. The paramecium turns slightly and goes forward again. If it runs into the solid object again it will do the same thing until it can get past the object.
