Assassins throughout the ocean

In addition to the ability to rob the lives of people and box jellyfish (also known as sea hornets), there are many characteristics that surprised the scientific community.

Shiver the most frightening "killer killer" in the ocean

Box jellyfish are exotic creatures. Livescience said, many children have up to 24 eyes. Although males and females do not touch each other when mating, they release large amounts of eggs and sperm into seawater. After that the fertilization process takes place.

For humans, it is remarkable in this jellyfish that they can be fatal . But because the box jellyfish leave no fossil clear and there is very little documentation in museums, the scientific world is not very well aware of their evolutionary history and the interrelationships.

Now, scientists have gathered new information about the subspecies, relationships and evolution of marine creatures that can kill this person. These are the findings that could help researchers create life-sustaining antitoxin .

Box jellyfish, also known as sea ​​bees, poisonous stings , or jellyfish , live mainly in warm waters around the world.

They have a diameter of up to 30 cm, box jellyfish with up to 60 tentacles on a total length of more than 4.5 m, but although the body is quite large, it is difficult for people to see them.

In it, each tentacle has 5,000 poisonous cells and the amount of venom. They carry enough to ' take down ' 60 people in just a few minutes.

According to experts' estimates, more than 100 people die each year globally due to some sea bees and bees.

According to Livescience, they are concentrated in Australia, the Philippines and Southeast Asia. But humans can also find them in Hawaii, the US and the east coast of the country. There are harmless species, but there are species that can kill people in minutes.

Called box jellyfish because of its outer appearance like a box, this jellyfish belongs to the Cubozoa family, Cnidaria class. They resemble anemones, corals, and other poisonous jellyfish in that they all have bags containing poisonous stings.

The Australian box jellyfish ( Chironex fleckeri ) is the largest box jellyfish and is believed to be the most terrifying marine creature by deadly poisonous fuses. Close relatives - Chironex yamaguchii jellyfish - caused many deaths in Japan and the Philippines.

Carukia barnesi is a smaller species and is capable of causing Irukandji syndrome (intense lower back pain, headaches, nausea and sometimes even death-obsessive feelings). But this syndrome is usually not life-threatening. Similar symptoms may be caused by some other box jellyfish.

Through DNA taken from tissue samples, the researchers conducted experiments and genetic analysis techniques to find out the evolution of jellyfish, their toxicity and classify unknown species. Some studies show that canned jellyfish contain special proteins that help create antitoxin .

According to Allen Collins, a researcher at the US National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), 'Knowing which types of canned jellyfish are related to each other will be very helpful in predicting the types that are not yet available. know a lot. A poison-resistant substance of this species can also be resistant to other poisonous species. '

Jellyfish are present everywhere in the ocean, but box jellyfish are not like other species. Some box jellyfish live in the Atlantic Ocean, others in the Pacific, and a few in the Indian Ocean.

NOAA researchers said: ' It seems that geographic obstacles have isolated species and they also do not seem to be moving away from the familiar habitat. Some species are found in all three oceans. That means they can live in tropical waters all over the world. "
