Article Synopsis
- The study analyzed the distribution of Narcomedusae medusae in the Southwestern Atlantic, focusing on 3,288 zooplankton samples collected from Uruguayan and Argentine waters between February 2014 and March 2015.
- It highlighted a parasitic relationship between a hydrozoan species (the parasite) and a medusa (the host), finding that 1.5% of the 21,734 medusae examined were infected, primarily affecting specific body parts.
- The research also mapped areas of seasonal occurrence for the medusae and their parasitic association, noting highest abundances in the Río de la Plata estuary, with no significant size differences between infected and non-infected medusae.
