First results on qualitative characteristics and biological activity of nematocyst extracts from Chrysaora plocamia (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa)

We performed qualitative and quantitative characterizations of the biological activity of nematocyst extracts from 30 specimens of Chrysaora plocamia collected off Huayquique, Iquique, Chile. After extracting the nematocysts from the jellyfish tentacles, we characterized them with UV and IR sweeps a...
