Abstract in brief
Snorkelers in mangrove waters experience discomfort from a sensation called "stinging water" linked to the presence of the upside-down jellyfish, Cassiopea xamachana.
The research identifies unique structures called cassiosomes in C. xamachana, composed of stinging cells (nematocytes) and symbiotic dinoflagellates, which are effective in killing prey and released in their mucus.
The study also found similar cassiosome structures in four other jellyfish in the same family, suggesting that mucus containing these structures is responsible for the stinging sensation reported by snorkelers.
