title: Chrysaora hysoscella in the Gulf of Trieste: presence, evolution and cutaneous toxicity in man.
abstract: In the past few years important changes in the occurrence of scyphomedusae have been observed in the North Adriatic Sea and in particular in the Gulf of Trieste, often reaching alarming proportions. Spring coastal blooms of C. hysoscella were observed in 1989. Until 1989, this jellyfish was considered to be innocuous but the data presented show its cutaneous toxicity in man.
