    Do moon jellyfish migrate?

    Question #94547. Asked by QThorsegirl. (Apr 12 08 6:32 PM)

    		This site claims that, "unnatural migration occurs via ballast water from international shipping and because of international trade of marine species".

    In fact, they have developed a scientific model to learn about the migration and introduction of any suspected non-native marine creatures.

    		even though they have no brain. Jellyfish migrate, and they seem to prefer some foods to others. Jellyfish eat by filtering water with their tentacles and sending the catch upward into their stomach. They exclude certain prey in favor of others. This observation was made in the laboratory, putting tiny jellyfish under a microscope and watching them eat and digest food.
