Nomadic jellyfish
Nomadic jellyfish (Rhopilema nomadica) near the waters surface. It has a powerful sting that is painful but not fatal to humans. The nomadic jellyfish originated in the Indo-Pacific region, but migrated through the Suez canal into the Mediterranean. It is now found in plague proportions and has all but driven out the native common jellyfish. The umbrella (centre right) is a common food in the Far East, preserved in salt and softened in water before being eaten. Photographed in the eastern Mediterranean

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the mesmerizing beauty of nomadic jellyfish, Rhopilema nomadica, gracefully gliding near the water's surface. With their translucent umbrella-shaped bodies and delicate tentacles trailing behind them, these fascinating creatures are a sight to behold. Originating in the Indo-Pacific region, these nomadic jellyfish made their way into the Mediterranean through the Suez canal. Unfortunately, they have proliferated rapidly and now dominate the waters, pushing out native common jellyfish species. Their powerful sting is painful but not fatal to humans. Intriguingly, this peculiar marine species has become an integral part of Far Eastern cuisine. The umbrella portion of these jellyfish is harvested as food after being preserved in salt and softened in water before consumption. The migration of Rhopilema nomadica into new territories has had significant ecological implications. Their introduction into the Mediterranean has caused a plague-like situation for native species while also providing sustenance for those who appreciate unique culinary experiences. As we marvel at this image captured in the eastern Mediterranean by Science Photo Library, it serves as a reminder of nature's intricate web and how even seemingly alien creatures can find their place within it – both as awe-inspiring inhabitants of our oceans and unexpected sources of nourishment for different cultures around the world.
