Moon Jellyfish are light blue and very clear.Moon jellyfish have a Bellhead also known as a umbrella. In addition,a moon jellyfish has a radial symmetry body that is very flexible.Also,they have these four oral arms they use to swim by pulling the water and releasing it.

For many people, water is a source of relaxation and comfort, while others believe that it can be dangerous and deceiving, but often times people do not look at what lives among it. Whether it is a body of fresh water, or a body of salt water, many creatures lurk among the depths of seas, oceans, lakes, and rivers without gaining the attention of human beings. With this, a plethora of sea creatures that tend to remain hidden can harm human beings. People believe that sharks are the deadliest sea creature on the planet, however, this is a false statement. Sharks are most known for their terrifying attacks on humans, but they lack the qualities of a deadly creature.

It’s a beautiful day at the beach, the sun is shining down on you as you float and drift on top of the waves. As you lay there without a care in the world, you are suddenly interrupted by a massive swarm of jellyfish; also known as a bloom. Not only does this send you into sudden terror, it also causes a much bigger threat to the ecosystem below you. The excessive growth of jellyfish swarm drastically lowers the population of fish eggs in the ecosystem. Because of this, fishermen lose millions of dollars. People in local communities are figuring out ways to solve this mass production.

The topic of my essay is going to about the mnemiopsis jellyfish and the harm the do to fish in the ocean specifically the black sea. The problem with them is that they eat the larva and eggs of the fish. In result, the people who fish in the black sea for a living are losing their product.

I thought about this memory because I was watching a movie while thinking of what to write about. Also I talked to a friend from South Florida, and while talking we reminisced about the good times we had in the past. Lastly my current neighbor was having

Jellyfish are very simple creatures with being 98% water, so how would they get energy? Well jellyfish actually have mouths, that they use to eat other plankton, or bigger fish depending on the size. Jellyfish also probably wouldn’t be able to eat if they couldn’t paralzse their food, because it would just swim away. Because a fish swims into the jellyfish’s tentacles, they get zapped or poisoned and eaten by the jellyfish.

This memory begins with a bus ride. A white beat up bus surged through the deadly heat waves, swerving around the uneven dirt road full of rocks. I look out the crazed window and gaze at the moving cars that seem like ghosts with headlights. We were on the way to Tijuana. We had a few belongings packed in our bags which were all that we could carry. There was no fear or concern on my part because we were constantly moving.

Stomolophus meleagris, also known as the cannonball jellyfish, can often and most frequently be found off the shorelines of countries bordering the Pacific Ocean preferably in water temperatures close to 74 degrees Fahrenheit. It is part of the kingdom Animalia and located in the phylum Cnideria. The jellyfish gets its name because it possesses radial symmetry and because of its bell, which can range up to seven inches in diameter. Colors of this jellyfish slightly vary between clear and a gradual light to dark brown color. They have circular muscles on the underside of their bell which contract and allow it to propel itself through the water, as well as keep it upright.

Jellyfish, Dangerous yet beautiful creatures, lurk in the ocean, some are big and some are small. There are over 2000 different kinds of jellyfish some of the species are very deadly. Jellyfish can lay up to 40,000 eggs a day, there are a lot of jellyfish and they can be dangerous to us and our Marine wildlife. There is a type of jellyfish that can kill a full grown adult in 2-5 minutes. Scientist have discovered a type of jellyfish that eats other jellyfish. Jellyfish are magnificent creatures they are a threat to us and other animals but scientist might have solved that problem.

As the sun beats down on my back, I struggle to escape the water before it captures me. Sharks and jellyfish surround me while more dangers lay ahead. Sharp, ragged, pointed pieces of glass dig into my feet. Wet sand latches on to me, halting me in my path.

A mosaic jellyfish floats serenely in the waters of the Coral Sea, about 100 nautical miles from Cairns, Australia. Jellyfish are ubiquitous in the Earth’s oceans. They can thrive in warm water and cold, along coastlines or out in the deep. Their bodies are about 95 percent water. And though they have no brains, jellyfish have somehow been smart enough to survive for over 500 million

Jellyfish. They’re some of the most fascinating creatures on planet earth. Unique, and dangerous, jellyfish (also known as jellies) are soft, gelatinous aquatic animals with what looks like an umbrella for a head. Powerful tentacles filled with deadly toxins in a painful sting. These neon creatures are classified in the subphylum Medusozoa, which forms a large part of the phylum Cnidaria; though not all Meduszoa fall under the jellyfish species.

The thimble jellyfish, or Linuche unguiculata is well known for the rashes it causes swimmers while in it’s larval stage. Most of the current research being conducted that I found was about this topic. When released in large numbers the jellyfish often get caught in swimwear and let out their stinging cells, causing a great deal of discomfort and pain to those affected. The thimble jellyfish is aptly named, since it’s shaped much like a thimble. They are very small, approximately 13-20 mm in length and radially symmetrical while in their medusa stage. However, the polyp can be 7.5 times larger, reaching up to 150 mm tall. They are equipped with eight short tentacles and eight sensory organs.

One weekend, Eleazar decided we should try our hand at deep-sea fishing, so he chartered an exclusive trip for us on the Flying Connie. The boat and crew were at our disposal for the entire day; we set out early around six a.m. that morning. The first hour of our journey was spent reviewing safety regulations, followed up by a basic “fishing 101” crash course. Once upon the fishing grounds, the captain passed out our poles and bait. When he reached Alice with her container of live sardines, she looked at him bewildered. She was expecting worms or manufactured lures. Immediately realizing the fate of the “poor little fishies” which she soon deemed them, she sobbed and refused to allow anyone to bait their hooks maintaining we would be murderers to do so.

It is a sweltering summer day and you are at the beach with your closest friends and family. It is now time for you to get some relief from the sun and hurdle into the cool, salty water. You stand up on the float that you were floating on, leap into the air, bring your knees towards your chest while wrapping your arms around your now balled up body and shout “CANNONBALL!” at the top of your lungs. As you fall into the water, you feel something slimy brush past your leg. Ironically, your stunt was not the only Cannonball that was going for a swim. In fact, there are thousands of them.
