Jellyfish Essays

by what seems to be a jellyfish. “Why!” you scream. Jellyfish may seem like cool creatures, but in reality they hurt people and eat fish, but if we would like less pain in the world we can kill the jellyfish and we can even cook them and make interesting foods out jellyfish. Body Paragraphs: Jellyfish are violent creatures. They hurt humans and fish. Article “Jellyfish Ecology” by Rosalind Fonem

Nearly 19.2 million Americans suffer from different specific phobias such as Aquaphobia. Aquaphobia is a social phobia that is defined as the persistent, unwarranted and irrational fear of water. Aquaphibians conjure up images of dying in the water, drowning, gasping for breath, or encountering eerie, unseen things such as snakes or sharks in the water. In the short story “The Isabel Fish” by Julie Orringer, one of the main characters Maddy has gained this phobia of water due to her car accident

The Hawaiian Day Octopus is part of the mollusk family, and are closely related to squid, cuttlefish, and the Nautilus. They don’t have shells, but compensate with their extremely intelligent and ability to adjust color immediately to match their surroundings. When they are startled or leave a certain area, they release an ink cloud. The objective of this ink cloud is to distract possible predators, (*kind of like in Mario Kart when your screen gets inked). They can also squeeze themselves into tiny

seems to be a jellyfish invasion. Jellyfish travel in swarms. They can release up to 40,000 eggs daily. As they multiply and their numbers get out of control, they are called blooms. Jellyfish eat the larvae and eggs of the anchovies, it affects the fisherman who catch and sell the anchovies because they depend on a successful season of anchovie fishing, there is a jellyfish called the Bereo which eats the Mnemiopsis jellyfish and creates a more blanced ecosystem. In the article Jellyfish take over it

not belong to. It is the jellyfish Turritopsis Dohrnii. The jellyfish can after sexual maturity, go back to the first stage of its development. It gives him an interesting nickname: the immortal jellyfish. Because the animal can relive the cycle over again, it can theoretically forever stay alive. Fertilized eggs of T. dohrnii grow out of polyps that are part of a polyp colony. From these polyps arise jellyfish that are sexually mature in about two weeks. These jellyfish again produce eggs or sperm

animals with the longest lifespans, I just found myself searching already. So, let's go! ## Animal 1: The Immortal Jellyfish Just as the name suggests, the immortal jellyfish lives indefinitely but of course, you know immortality is subjective to intentional killing. So, if you want to kill it, you can. The scientific name of this fish is Turritopsis dohrnii and as of today, this jellyfish remains the only creature that is immortal - the only creature that defies death. Well, if you

The kingdom Animalia has a broad variety of members, such as the earthworm, the lion, and the jellyfish, who belong to different classes and are, therefore, placed all over the spectrum regarding complexity. By comparing the various body systems of these classes, it can be concluded that the Mammalia class is the most advanced. The earthworm, which is a member of the Clitellata class, is very primitive in regards to its respiratory system. The earthworm does not have a specialized system for respiration

chose is a jellyfish (or jellies). I used many sources but these were the most helpful. I mainly used https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jellyfish for reproduction and the sizes between birth and adulthood. I used kids.nationalgeographic.com/animals/jellyfish/ for more facts about their one type of cell. I used http://eu.oceana.org/en/feature-about-jellyfish to learn more facts about the reproduction of jellyfish. First, I’ll talk about the types of cells in a Jellyfish. Fun fact, Jellyfish have stinging

The following analysis is a comparison of two marine animals, octopus, Octopoda, and the moon jelly, Aurelia aurita, and how their nervous systems differentiate. Octopus have bilateral symmetry and jellyfish have radial symmetry which correlates to their body functions. Both species behave differently but share similar features, although they are not related and have unique developments which evolve over time. The two species to be compared are the octopus, Octopoda, and the moon jelly, Aurelia

The organism that I have chosen is the Sea Wasp, which is a species of Box Jellyfish (Cubozoa). The Sea Wasp is classified by eight different groups within its taxonomy, which are the: domain, kingdom, phylum, class, order, family, genus, and species. The Domain of this specific organism is Eukarya, the kingdom of the organism is Animalia, the phylum of the organism is Cnidaria, the class of the organism is the Cubozoa, the order of the organism is the Chirodropida, the family of the organism is

Narrative Essay The book “Nuclear Jellyfish of New Jersey” was a good book. Even though it is a lower reading level than I should be reading, it was still a interesting book. My favorite character throughout the story was Tony. This story also had lots of qualities in the writing that I liked that I will tell you about. One more thing that I will talk about is how this type of book is for lower reading levels and how I should have challenged myself with a more advanced book. So the first thing

This research article goes into the interactions and behaviors of jellyfish, including bioluminescence. It is touched upon how the environment and diet of a jellyfish affects their bioluminescence. There is also information on who they cohabitate with, and who their predators and prey are. Medusa jellyfish mainly feed off of zooplankton, and are also one of the few bioluminescent jellyfish. 5.

what is more commonly known as the purple striped jellyfish. It definitely lives up to its name, on it’s transparent, shimmering white bowl shaped Bell which contrast the twelve to sixteen striking purple strips going down it. It is a predator of zooplankton, copepods, larval fish, ctenophores, salps, other jellies, and fish eggs (Montereybayaquarium.com). Also it as many other relatives living amongst it including Pacific Sea nettle, other jellyfish, sea anemones, and coral. All these wonderful things

Charles Darwin once said, “It is not the strongest of the species that survives, nor the most intelligent. It is the one that is most adaptable to change.” In this quote, it says that the ones that survives is not the one who is the strongest among species nor the ones who are intelligent, but the ones who are able to adjust to their environment. Deep-sea creatures have adapted amazingly in their own extreme environment. In this informative essay, we will state the different deep sea creatures which

Recent concerns that jellyfish populations are increasing have stimulated speculation about possible causes including climate change, eutrophication, over fishing and invasions (Jennifer E, 2007). The moon jellyfish has become a bit of a nuisance to many different fishing companies, they diminish the size of commercially important fish larvae by either direct predation or due to the result of food competition (Dawson and Jacobs 2001). Reports of human problems with jellyfish have increased and have

crabs to survive in extreme environments. Zombie Worms Drill Whales Bones with Acid, science article by Martha Ennis, and Trip into Blackness, field notes by marine biologist Mariana trench, present the chemical adaptations that allow worms and jellyfish to also survive in extreme environments. The adaptations that each of these organisms represents is what make them so unique. Deep-sea creatures depend on chemistry to survive develop defense or survival mechanisms. According to Martha Ennis, “Skin

Common name: Atlantic sea nettle or East coast sea nettle Description: The C. quinquecirrha is composed of three significant parts: the external epidermal cup, the gastrodermis layer which is in the middle and the tentacles. The cup of the C. quinquecirrha is 25 centimeters wide and has the shape of 8 lobes. Each of the lobes has tentacles protruding from them which contain stinging organelles known as nematocysts. Form the middle of the organism where the mouth of the C. quinquecirrha is located

often we know every part of their life cycle and none of it is a mystery to us. On the other hand, we know very little about jellyfish and do not observe their life cycle on a daily basis. Because of this, it was ingenious for the author to include this comparison. I also really like the use of the word “metamorphosis”. It is much easier to think of the immortal jellyfish as a creature able to reverse

000 pounds (900 kg) Hatchling: 1.5-2 ounces (40-50 g) Length: Adult: 6.5 feet (2 m) Hatchling: 2-3 inches (50-75 cm) Appearance: primarily black shell with pinkish-white coloring on their belly Lifespan: unknown Diet: soft-bodied animals, such as jellyfish and scalps, and pyro0somes Behavior: females lay clutches of approximately 100 eggs several times during a nesting season, typically at 8-12 day intervals. Life Cycle Juvenile leatherbacks may remain in tropical waters warmer than 26°C, near the

There are several interesting underwater animals in the earth 's oceans. Several of them have only recently been discovered. Some like the zombie worms have baffled scientists. Others like the deep sea jellyfish have just shocked scientists. Then, there are some like the yeti crabs, which have just confused scientists with how they survive in the hydrothermal vents near Antarctica. Though some people see these just as deep sea animals, they are very interesting and provide so much information. Zombie
