Jellyfish are an important source of food for fish, sea turtles, cetaceans, whales and dolphins. They are therefore a fundamental link in the food chain in our seas and oceans. Le meduse sono cibo per i pesci Jellyfish are food for fish intotheblue.it

In these videos you can see bogues (Bogue, Boops boops) belonging to the sparid species such as the white sea bream and the gilt-head bream, which organized in a small school are devouring a jellyfish typical of our Mediterranean Sea, the Barrel jellyfish (Rhizostoma pulmo).

We filmed various specimens of Barrel jellyfish all encountered in the same dive, some have real holes on the umbrella and judging by the size and dimension they are probably caused by rather imposing teeth typical of predators such as Bluefish and Amberjacks.

Often during the summer we witness the stupid practice of catching jellyfish to remove them from the sea because they are dangerous for swimmers, and then leaving them to die beached under the sun. Furthermore, most of the jellyfish in the Mediterranean are practically harmless as we often document. So! We will never tire of saying it! Let’s stop catching jellyfish and instead collect plastic from the sea, especially transparent bags and sacks, these are really dangerous because most of those fish, sea turtles, cetaceans, whales and dolphins, ingest them precisely because they are mistaken for jellyfish.
