Huge swarms of jellyfish have yet to materialize on Israel’s shores. Climate change might have something to do with it, according to researchers.
Every summer, Israel’s Mediterranean coast fills with jellyfish, but this year’s swarm is worse than ever with factors such as climate change and pollution to blame.
As yearly summer swarm of the stinging creatures reaches its peak, University of Haifa scientists contemplate what makes them bigger than usual.
Does peeing on a sting actually help? What do jellyfish have to do with power stations? And how do we stop them from ruining our vacation?
Israeli researchers are deciphering the stinging mechanism of the jellyfish, hoping it will provide ideas for improved drug delivery.
Non-indigenous organisms introduced through the Suez Canal are causing irreversible damage, say Tel Aviv University researchers.
94 percent of jellyfish swarms arrive along Israel’s coast when the sea temperature is over 28C and a full moon rises.
Jellyfish usually seen in Japan migrates to shores of Israel, provides evidence for changes taking place in the Mediterranean Sea.
University of Haifa research team is working to distance these gelatinous stinging blobs from beach shores with sound.
