BOXES OF DEATH - BOX JELLYFISH

Box JellyfishRecognized as one of the greatest marine hazards, box jellyfish (Chironex fleckeri) kill more people than sharks, crocodiles and stonefish combined.

Each year, in late summer, the adult box jellyfish spawn at river mouths before dying. The fertilised eggs become tiny polyps which attach themselves to rocks in estuaries. In spring these polyps develop into little swimming jellyfish which migrate down rivers, especially with rains, to feed on shrimp. Unfortunately, they frequent beaches which humans also find attractive. The animal does not actively hunt, relying on food to bump into its tentacles. A struggling shrimp might tear a delicate jellyfish, so it needs to be killed instantly, on contact, with a very strong poison.

Tentacles, up to 60 in number and reaching 5m in length, are arranged in four groups at the corners of a box-shaped bell which can be as large as a basketball. The tentacles are armed with up to 5 000 million stinging cells known as nematocysts. These are triggered into action when stimulated by certain chemicals found on the surface of fish, shellfish and humans. Contact with just 3m of tentacles can kill an adult.

Recent studies have shown that the box jellyfish is able to see through four eyes, one at the centre of each side of the bell. How it processes this information without a brain is still a mystery but the animal is able to avoid even quite small objects. They probably try to avoid humans in the water, if given the chance; stings usually occur when people blunder into them. (They are almost invisible in the water.) It is certainly in the interest of the jellyfish to avoid turtles which eat them, apparently unaffected by the stings.

Another box jellyfish, Chiropsalmus quadrigatus, is generally less common than Chironex fleckeri, although it may outnumber them on Cairns to Port Douglas beaches. It is smaller, with slimmer tentacles, but the two are difficult to tell apart. There are about 20 species, worldwide, in the Cubozoa, or box jellyfish, family, Chironex fleckeri is the most lethal member.

IRUKANDJIS

Although it is more numerous in summer months, the irukandji (Corukia barnesi) can be found all year round and inhabits all waters. A member of the box family, it has one tentacle at each corner of its bell. It is tiny - only 2cm across the bell - but nonetheless packs a massive punch. Both bell and tentacles have stinging cells.

The actual sting is minor, but 20-30 minutes later the victim begins to experience agony which lasts for hours. Although not blamed for deaths its tendency to cause raised blood pressure can be dangerous for vulnerable victims. Ignoring the initial sting may also lead to some people suffering severe symptoms in deep water or while driving.

Dear Terry Welch,

Thank you very much for your quick respond and the invitation to come to the USA for the purpose of exchanging knowledge. In general we have a great interest to do so.

Concerning the turnkey project you proposed, we are certainly interested to follow such a scheme. However, before we enter into any large project we would like to conduct an exemplary cooperation on a small basis, to get to know each other better and test collaboration.

Therefore we propose to start out with proven products for fire intervention. We have been testing products with Ayhan Doyuk in October 2009 in Poland. At that time the Substances used had, in our view and that from present fireman from Germany and Switzerland, not brought evidence of proper functioning for their purpose. We are generally highly interested to start out with such products, especially because we are in contact with fire brigades in Germany and from countries abroad.

Now we would like to know, whether



- You possess any products for fire extinction (especially forest fires) and/or fire prevention (especially for timber constructions)?

- You sell products of such kind to the American market?


In regards to the fire prevention for wood, we are in close contact with companies that produce timber and half-timber constructions.

For a better understanding we need a brief idea about chemical and physical mode of operation of those products. Along that we would like to purchase a sample of each product (about 5L) for testing the substance for our selfs

We would be very please to get to know you and the poeple you work with personally in Florida. However, we would like to start with small steps as stated above. We are happy about your proposal and investments into a trip and materials as you suggested are feasible.

For further discussion on that topic it might be reasonable to have another talk on the phone in the near future. We hope to hear from you soon.

Kind regards.
