Jellyfish in Ceuta

A GIANT jellyfish has been discovered in off the coast of Ceuta by the Centre              for Studies and Conservation of Marine Animals (CECAM).

The find is described as ‘extremely rare’ and has been put down to the effects of climate change.

The species is known as a ‘Rhizostoma Luteum’ and can weight up to 40kg.

Scientists began noticing the surge in giant jellyfish in the summer of 2012, when 50 were observed off Spain’s Mediterranean coast.
