Six stung by jellyfish at Juhu Beach this week

Several dozen of these marine creatures annually wash up on city shores, and a few citizens inevitably come into contact with them, conspicuous as they are against the sandy beach. In 2018, an unusually large number of them were stranded on Mumbai’s beaches, leading to 150 such incidents

According to a 2013 article by the Mumbai Research Centre of the Central Marine Fisheries Research Institute, “Despite its outward appearance, the man-o’-war is not a true jellyfish (true jellyfish are those that belong to the class Scyphozoa) but a Siphonophore, which differs from jellyfish as it is not actually a single organism, but is a colony of numerous organisms called polyps (or zooids) that are so specialised that they cannot live without each other.” (HT PHOTO)
