Where did the jellyfish come from on the Brest canal? They could be brought by athletes

A few days ago, from the Brest Rowing Channel, sports facility officers caught a jellyfish. A video with such a catch has been published in VKontakte: a tiny jellyfish travels to the bottom of a plastic bottle with a transparent "hood". Naturally, for the Belarusian to meet a jellyfish far from the sea – an extraordinary and slightly shocking event.

It turns out that people came to Brest from South America. At least in this version, I want to believe it the most. He was voiced by Victor Demyanchik, deputy director of the Agricultural and Environmental Institute of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus. "It's a sensation.These are the so-called freshwater jellyfish – Kraspedakusta, do it, – BelTA quotes the scientist .– Their homeland is the river Amazon in South America. " According to him, a jellyfish on one of the boats could be brought from competition by an athlete. She did not dry until the end, but when she was in the water, she came to life and settled down.

The specialist noted that these jellyfish are safe and even useful, because they eat plankton, algae. The only question is whether the jellyfish will survive these jellyfish. And if the case continues, then the Belarusian royal shrimp will be returned.
