The largest recorded specimen was measured off the coast of Massachusetts in 1865 and had a bell with a diameter of 210 centimetres (7 feet) and tentacles around 36.6 m (120 ft) long. [2] Lion's mane jellyfish have been observed below 42°N latitude for some time in the larger bays of the East Coast of the United States .
Known to be one of the largest invertebrate predators in the deep sea, the giant phantom jellyfish's typical prey consists of plankton and small fish. The S. gigantea tends to be more dominant in locations with a low productivity system, which in turn deters other predatory organisms, like fish, to high productivity systems (coastal, upwelling ...
Nomura's jellyfish (エチゼンクラゲ, echizen kurage, Nemopilema nomurai) is a very large rhizostome jellyfish, in the same size class as the lion's mane jellyfish, the largest cnidarian in the world. It is edible but not considered high quality. [1] It is the only species in the monotypic genus Nemopilema.
A marine biologist got the surprise of her life when she swam off the southwestern coast of England and came across a jellyfish the size of a human.
The new species of jellyfish is considered “relatively large,” its body reaching just over 1 inch in height and its tentacles measuring over 2 inches in length, the study said.
The increasingly common giant Nomura's jellyfish, Nemopilema nomurai, found in some, but not all years in the waters of Japan, Korea and China in summer and autumn is another candidate for "largest jellyfish", in terms of diameter and weight, since the largest Nomura's jellyfish in late autumn can reach 2 m (6 ft 7 in) in bell (body) diameter ...
Now, the mystery is solved: it is a placental jellyfish -- after many. For two years a mysterious sea creature has been captured on video as it swims 5,000 feet below the surface, but scientists ...
Tiburonia granrojo is one of the largest sea jellies and unusual in a number of ways. They live at ocean depths of 600 to 1,500 metres (2,000 to 4,900 ft) and have been found across the Pacific Ocean in the Gulf of California, Monterey Bay, Hawaii and Japan. It is very likely that these jellies are exhibiting deep-sea gigantism.
