The Mediterranean Sea is one of the most heavily impacted areas by biological invasions worldwide, with over 650 non-indigenous species (NIS) reported as established in 2019.Information about the distribution of NIS in the basin is often fragmented or non-existent due to factors such as lack of finance, expertise, and appropriate surveillance systems.Citizen science might represent a reliable tool in monitoring the spread of NIS, being able to overcome the challenges of scientific monitoring.In the ...

The Australian spotted jellyfish Phyllorhiza punctata has been reported from several locations in the Mediterranean, but the present report is the first record from Turkish waters. Juveniles of the Erythrean alien shrimp scad, Alepes djedaba, were observed nestling among its tentacles. Possible vectors are mentioned.

The Australian spot jellyfish Phyllorhiza punctata has not been recorded previously for any coast of Mexico. A giant jellyfish was recorded for the first time in June 2006 in Laguna de Mandinga, southwestern Gulf of Mexico. Between 2007 and 2008, another three adult specimens were collected and later in May 2009 and April-June 2010 a great number of juveniles and adults were observed, of which 142 were collected. The presence of juveniles and adults throughout five consecutive years indicates that ...

A shoal of the Australian spotted jellyfish, Phyllorhiza punctata, native to the southwestern Pacific, was spotted on July 27, 2009 off the Mediterranean coast of Israel. Several recent records suggest that the vessel-transported species may have established a reproducing population.

The scyphozoan Phyllorhiza punctata von Lendenfeld, 1884 (Mastigiidae), known only from Indo-Pacific waters prior to the 1950s, is today found far from its original distribution, probably due to human activities. ...

Published behavioural, DNA sequence, and morphologic data on six populations of Mastigias , five from marine lakes and one from the lagoon, in Palau are summarized. Each marine lake population is distinguished from the lagoon population and from other lake populations by an unique suite of characteristics. Morphological differences among Mastigias populations in Palau are greater than those recorded between any previously described species of Mastigias , whereas molecular differences are far less (≤2. ...

Mastigias papua, known as the golden (or spotted) jellyfish, is an epipelagic jellyfish widely distributed in the warm waters of the West Pacific. This jellyfish has a brownish body, owing to zooxanthellae, and white spots. We measured the maximum force to pierce the umbrella, which averaged 94–144 mm in diameter, to evaluate the hardness of M. papua, and returned a range of 0.14–0.45 N. Correlation analyses indicate that when the M. papua medusa grows (i.e., becomes heavier), the umbrella becomes ...

The white-spotted jellyfish Phyllorhiza punctata was first recorded in 1965 in the Mediterranean Sea. Here, we describe the first record of P. punctata in the Balearic Islands, specifically at the coastal lagoon Estany des Ponts, Alcudia, Mallorca. An adult individual and several juveniles were found in the summer months (July and August) of 2023, suggesting a preference for an increase in physicochemical variables, such as salinity and temperature. Molecular analysis performed on an adult individual ...

Phylllorhiza punctata von Lendenfeld, 1884 originates from Australia and Coral Triangle, but its occurrence has been reported in the Atlantic Ocean and Mediterranean Sea, so it is necessary to better understand its geographic range. Two specimens were collected in Nagasaki and Kagoshima Prefectures, Japan, and morphological and molecular studies suggest that they are P. punctata . These are the first records of the species in Japan, and it is possible that individuals have been transported to ...
