More Information
Jellyfish are ubiquitous ocean animals that are important prey items for many species, including endangered sea turtles who mistakenly eat plastic bags instead. They are increasingly harvested for human consumption and are often feared by ocean explorers due to their stings (nematocysts). eJellyfish aims to capture biological, social, and anthropogenic aspects of this species group globally to stimulate more in-depth research.
