Information about the Japanese Sea Nettle:

The Japanese Sea Nettle – also called the North Sea Nettle or Brown Jellyfish – is a species of jellyfish native to the waters of the Eastern Pacific Ocean. They are large animals with very long tentacles – sometimes reaching as long at 9 feet or roughly 3 meters. They usually dwell at depths of about 300 feet or 100 meters. They feed on a variety of sea life like copepods, larvaceans, small fish, large zooplankton, and even other jellyfish. Their sting, while painful to humans, is not considered dangerous compared to some of the other jellyfish species.

The poster is printed on matte, museum-quality paper with Giclée printing quality:

Description

Fine art illustration of a Japanese Sea Nettle (Chrysaora pacifica.) The illustration is available in black and white or color.

Artist’s notes:

The Japanese Sea Nettle was completed on 2/22/2012. This is the fifth illustration of a jellyfish I’ve drawn. I’ve also added a new page for them, splitting them off from the Ocean Reef Fish page – which they of course didn’t really belong on but I really didn’t have another category for them. As with some other recent drawings, this one represents the “final” drawing of the subject. Unless something changes or another species is commissioned for some reason, this is the last jelly I’ll be drawing. The image is based on a photo by Ron DeCloux.
