First record of Phyllorhiza punctata (Cnidaria: Rhizostomae: Mastigiidae) in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean
The Australian white-spotted jellyfish, Phyllorhiza punctata had not been previously recorded in the Northeast Atlantic Ocean. Here, we present the first record of this species in the southwestern Atlantic coast of Spain, Cadiz. Particularly, ten specimens including juveniles and adults were collect...
