From website reports, Acromitus flagellatus (River Jellyfish) is increasingly being spotted in different spots around the New Territories this month. This species can be found around the Indo-West Pacific and as the common name suggests, is often considered to be found around mangroves and in brackish waters near estuaries.
從網站收到的報告顯示,本月在新界不同區域可見越來越多Acromitus flagellates(通稱「河水母」)。這個品種主要在印度洋—西太平洋區出沒,也有人認為牠們常出沒於河口灣鹹淡水混雜區域的紅樹林間,因此得其通用名「河水母」。
Rhopilema hispidum has not been reported recently nor seen in beach surveys, while large-sized Cyanea nozakii remain prevalent in Hong Kong waters.
另一方面,我們沒有收到目擊Rhopilema hispidum的報告,也沒有在沙灘調查時看到牠們;而大型Cyanea nozakii則仍然常見於香港水域中。
As more and more people spend time in the water this summer, keep an eye out for jellyfish and let us know what you see!
踏入盛夏,相信也有更多人會參與水上活動。記得留意出沒在你身邊的水母,並告知我們你的發現!
