Jellyfish play critical roles in many ocean ecosystems as key predators and prey to a wide array of organisms.
They are also incredibly diverse, and their dynamic movements allow them to interact in multiple physical regimes throughout the world’s oceans.
However, we have little knowledge of jellyfish behavior (i.e., swimming, feeding) that provides insight on how these organisms interact with their natural environment.
Kakani Katija will describe her quest to find (and avoid) elusive jellyfish around the world.
Learn how the development and deployment of advanced imaging tools provide a new perspective on jellyfish swimming and foraging in their natural environment.
The Aquarium has been providing lectures and films by scientists, environmental writers, photographers and others since 1972. All programs start at 7 p.m. in the Aquarium's IMAX Theatre.
