PETALING JAYA: The recent presence of venomous jellyfish along parts of Terengganu’s coastline is linked to seasonal environmental conditions that favour their growth, says a marine scientist.
Prof Datuk Dr Mazlan Abd Ghaffar said two species of fire jellyfish – Sanderia spp. and Morbakka spp. – are commonly found in the warm coastal waters of the South China Sea, particularly off Kuala Nerus.
