Remark In Belgium, the media always correlates Aurelia-invasions to excellent weather conditions in summer. Instead, the occurrence or absence of Aurelia is correlated to winter conditions. Seawater temperatures are within the limits for strobulation (4° to 10°C) from December to April. Since 1987 till 2003 there were no records of medusa of Aurelia aurita in Belgium in the years 1994, 1995, 2000 and 2002. In these years seawater temperatures were higher than 6C in February. Polyps strobulate and the ephyra grow during the following three months till adolescent proportions. These medusa are beached in late spring and early summer, when tourists are common on our beaches.
Abnormalities in the number of gonads are as frequent as in the beginning of the last century (Russell, 1970). Out of 1988 specimens, 39 specimen or 1.96% had five, six or seven gonads instead of four. [details]
