“…This suggests that molecules of the extract could be amino acids from proteins. The presence of a proteic component is also observed in species with greater toxic potential (Vera et al, 2004(Vera et al, , 2005. On the other hand, the range of analytes absorbed between 350 and 700 nm suggests an effect of the sucrose concentration given the greater absorption of the extract.…”

“…Large numbers of C. plocamia or their remains have caused problems in tourist areas of Paracas in Perú; Arica, Iquique and Antofagasta in Chile; and Puerto Madryn in Argentina. Strandings tend to happen in late springsummer (Vera et al 2004(Vera et al , 2005 and are especially large during El Niño events in Peru and Chile. Aquatic sports like kayaking, rowing, wake boarding, diving, swimming and sailing are frequent in the area where the jellyfi sh were aggregated; consequently, C. plocamia was responsible for one of the most frequent causes of skin irritations in swimmers (Vera et al 2005 ).…”

Chrysaora plocamia: A Poorly Understood Jellyfish from South American Waters

et al. 2013

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Blooms and strandings of Chrysaora plocamia are reported to occur along both Atlantic and Pacifi c South American coasts. First described in Peruvian waters by Lesson (1830) almost two centuries ago as Cyanea plocamia , there is surprisingly little ecological information about this conspicuous animal. This chapter reviews current knowledge about C. plocamia biology and ecology, its relationship with pelagic fi sheries and climate and the problems blooms cause in the Humboldt Current and Patagonian shelf ecosystems. Chrysaora plocamia has important ecological roles, including trophic and symbiotic interactions with fi sh and sea turtles. Population variability has a clear relationship with climate where phases of high C. plocamia biomass were associated with El Niño events occurring during warm "El Viejo" regimes. Interestingly, their estimated biomass occasionally approached those of sardines or anchovies. This large jellyfi sh negatively affects human industries in the region when abundant, including fi sheries, aquaculture, desalination plants and tourism. Understanding relationships between jellyfi sh blooms and environmental drivers (e.g. ENSO, regime shifts) should allow forecasting of the jellyfi sh abundance and potential vulnerabilities such that resource managers and industrial fi sheries owners may prepare for costly outbreaks.

“…Se conoce que más de 1.000 especies son tóxicas, y el contacto con ellas puede originar inmediatamente ronchas, vesículas dolorosas y pruriginosas con sensación urente, además de eritema y edema cutáneos, que rara vez llegan a la necrosis y el colapso cardiorrespiratorio (Auerbach, 1991;Vera, et al, 2004;Otero, 2012;Jouiaei, et al, 2015). Cuando suceden estas proliferaciones, las autoridades costeras tienden a restringir el acceso a las playas para evitar cualquier incidente (Boero, 2013).…”

ResumenEl subfilo Medusozoa (clases Cubozoa, Hydrozoa y Scyphozoa) se caracteriza por un esquema corporal predominantemente medusoide. El subfilo agrupa organismos con características pelágicas, lo que en cierta medida ha dificultado su conocimiento y estudio. En el Caribe colombiano se han registrado 25 de las 130 especies presentes en el mar Caribe, pero se considera que aún debe ahondarse en el conocimiento en torno a su diversidad local y regional. En este trabajo se registró la composición de las especies de Medusozoa presentes en algunas localidades del departamento del Atlántico, con énfasis en el sector turístico de Puerto Velero. Los registros se obtuvieron entre agosto de 2016 y diciembre de 2017. Las muestras se recolectaron de diversas formas: manualmente, utilizando arrastres superficiales con una red rectangular (1 mm de apertura de malla), o durante actividades de pesca. Se observaron siete especies: una de Hydrozoa, una de Cubozoa y cinco de Scyphozoa. Aurelia aurita y Chrysaora sp. fueron las más frecuentes en el sector de Puerto Velero. Aunque la mayoría de las especies son de distribución amplia o cosmopolita y ocasionalmente llegan a las costas del Caribe colombiano, en el Atlántico solo se tenía registro de una de ellas, por lo que estas observaciones amplían la información sobre su diversidad y frecuencia de aparición en esta zona del país, lo cual es de importancia para gestión y conservación en los lugares que desarrollan actividades turísticas. © 2018.

Contribution to the knowledge on jellyfishes (Cnidaria: Medusozoa) in the department of Atlántico, Colombia AbstractThe Medusozoa subphylum (Cubozoa, Hydrozoa, and Scyphozoa classes) is characterized mainly by a medusoid body scheme. The subphylum groups together organisms with pelagic characteristics, which to some extent has hindered their knowledge and study. Twenty five of the 130 species found in the Caribbean Sea have been recorded for the Colombian Caribbean, but new efforts are required to understand their diversity at local and regional level. In this study we registered the composition of subphyla species in some localities of the department of Atlántico, with an emphasis in the Puerto Velero tourist area. We collected the material between August 2016 and December 2017. Samples were collected manually, using a rectangular surface net (1 mm mesh opening), or during fishing activities. We recorded seven species: One from the Hydrozoa subphylum, one from the Cubozoa, and five from the Scyphozoa. Among these, Aurelia aurita and Chrysaora sp. were the most frequent in the Puerto Velero area. Although most of these species are widely distributed or cosmopolitan, and occasionally reach the Colombian Caribbean coasts, only one of them was previously recorded in the department of Atlántico. This new register increases the knowledge regarding their diversity and frequency of occurrence in this area of the country, and it is of particular interest...
