Talk:Pelagia noctiluca

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

[edit] 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)
