JERUSALEM, Aug. 28 (Xinhua) -- A new Israeli marine study has challenged the conventional wisdom that jellyfish are merely passive drifters, propelled solely by ocean currents and waves, the University of Haifa (UH) reported on Wednesday.
Researchers at the UH have discovered that jellyfish possess a remarkable ability to navigate and swim in a specific direction. By tracking thousands of jellyfish in the eastern Mediterranean Sea, the scientists identified clear directional swimming patterns that defy random movement.
