Thumb nail-sized freshwater jellyfish #Craspedacusta have been seen already this season 😳. About 10 days ago, locals reported them from #ShawniganLake, Vancouver Island, #Canada. If you see something, pass on the word to Florian Lüskow at #UBC.

Lämpimissa uimavesissä (lammet, järvet) voi havaita kolikon kokoisen lammikkomeduusan, josta kaipaamme havaintoja: vieraslajit.fi/lajit/MX.211965 #vieraslaji on kotoisin Kiinasta ja Suomessa on sen pohjoisimmat havainnot. Vieraslajit Suomen ympäristökeskus

Successful kick-off day for the #Craspedacusta #CitizenScience project at the #SunshineCoast in #BC. Ferry ride back. Exhausted but hopeful.

It is #freshwater #jellyfish season and with the heat for weeks, the #invasive #Craspedacusta will show up in ponds and lakes across BC soon. If you see any, please send a message to Florian Lüskow. Photo: Håkon Sönderholm.

Save the date❗️: on 9 September, Florian Lüskow will be talking about #invasive freshwater #jellyfish in #BritishColumbia in Garden Bay, Sunshine Coast. Where are they? What do they do? Is climate change favouring their disperdal?

First time #Craspedacusta, the #invasive #freshwater #jellyfish, seen in #CheakamusLake near #Whistler. If you see these inch-sized jellyfish across #BritishColumbia, say something and write to Florian Lüskow

Non-indigenous freshwater #jellyfish are still thriving in the early fall days in #BC. If you see them, please report back to Florian Lüskow coastreporter.net/local-news/coa… #Craspedacusta #biodiversity

Want to thank all citizen scientists and people involved in this year's #Craspedacusta and ecosystem monitoring programme at the Sunshine Coast #HotelLake. You did all exceptionally good! The season is now closed. #FreshwaterJellyfish

#Invasive species are a real problem in Canada, and one species in particular, the freshwater Peach Blossom #Jellyfish is widespread as they are also poorly understood.
