Talk:Pelagia noctiluca

Help the casual user!

After the recent swarm which decimated the salmon farm in Ireland, there's been some interest in this subject. Those who aren't marine biologists will find some of the scientific terminology rather impenetrable. At the same time, they won't find answers to some basic questions:

• How large is the adult Pelagia noctiluca?
• How large is a typical swarm? (i.e., is the 10-square-mile, 35-foot-deep swarm which nailed the Irish salmon farm unusual?)
• How long do they live?
• What do they eat?

I think a knowledgeable editor could do a great service by inserting the answers to some of these questions into the article.--HughGRex (talk) 23:35, 25 November 2007 (UTC)

It is very possible that you may die from one little sting, it`s like if you eat out of your house so it must be bad for you so just realize what ocean you go in before another person dies. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.77.76.109 (talk) 21:53, 31 May 2011 (UTC)

Picture of the day

Pelagia noctiluca is a bioluminescent species of jellyfish in the family Pelagiidae. Commonly found offshore in the warm and temperate waters of the oceans, it may occasionally be washed near the coastline. This specimen was photographed in a rockpool on the south coast of Sardinia, Italy.Photograph: Hans Hillewaert

SIZE?

Pretty basic, how big is it? 2600:1700:4CA1:3C80:ED78:EA7D:6EE1:95DA (talk) 17:12, 22 November 2018 (UTC)

Genus

I was wondering, this article has stated that Pelagia Noctiluca is the only recognized jellyfish in the Pelagia genus, but WoRMS has several distinct species under this genus. Should this article be edited to reflect that?
