Mortality and skin pathology of farmed Atlantic salmon ( Salmo salar ) caused by exposure to the jellyfish Physalia physalis in Ireland
Abstract In October 2019, during Tropical Storm Lorenzo, an unusual bloom of Physalia physalis (commonly known as the Portuguese man o’ war) appeared on the west coast of Ireland. The jellyfish were observed aggregating in high numbers surrounding salmon pens on two Atlantic salmon farms with tentac...
