Article Synopsis
- - The study investigates the effects of tricaine methanesulfonate (MS-222), an anesthetic, on moon jellyfish by analyzing their movement and response to stimuli at two different concentrations compared to a saltwater control.
- - Twenty-four jellyfish were divided into three groups to test low (0.3 g/L) and high (0.6 g/L) concentrations of MS-222, with results showing that higher concentrations led to faster initial effects but longer recovery times.
- - Overall, both concentrations of MS-222 decreased jellyfish movement and stimuli response, and all jellyfish recovered without issues, indicating the anesthetic's potential effects on this species.
