Abstract

The scyphomedusa Rhopilema nomadica, recorded in July 2006 from Lakonikos Gulf, on the Ionian coast of Greece, is a Lessepsian alien established in the Levantine Sea. The jellyfish’s painful stings may pose a danger to swimmers. Because of its invasiveness and its impact it is considered among the worst invasive marine species in European Seas.
