Subject: [NatureNS] re sea gooseberry -- was ??Arctic Comb Jelly
Paul and all, I think your nice photo is of what most Maritimers call =
"sea gooseberries" -- you were correct in calling it a comb jelly =
(Ctenophora phylum), but the Latinized name, I think, is still =
Pleurobrachia pileus.=20
Mertensia ovum is a new name for Beroe ovum, which is a comb jelly, =
all right, but is a different one from our common "sea gooseberry"; also =
Paul's site did not mention phylum Ctenophora for comb jellies, which =
are distant cousins of jellyfish, sea anemones, & corals).=20
I Googled "sea gooseberry" and got:
Sea Gooseberry - Pleurobrachia pileus - Seawater.no
www.seawater.no/fauna/ctenophora/pileus.html - Cached
16 Mar 2013 ... Kingdom: Animalia; Phylum: Ctenophora; Class: =
Tentaculata; Order: Cydippida; Family: Pleurobrachiidae; Scientific =
name: Pleurobrachia ...
Cheers from Jim, still in B.C. but on my way home.....
