English term or phrase:blue bottle jellyfish
Here in the Australian coast we find lots of blue bottle jellyfish. ( Physalia utriculus)
Será que poderíamos usar garrafa-azul ou caravela portuguesa? No entanto encontrei esses nomes comuns para a especie Physalia physalis.
De acordo com Wikipedia: Physalia utriculus also called Blue Bottle or (Indo-Pacific) Portuguese Man-of-War is a marine life form of the order Siphonophora found in the Indian and Pacific oceans. A gas filled bladder allows it to float on the surface, propelled by currents, tides, and by a sail at the top of the bladder, which may be left or right-handed. A single long tentacle of venomous cnidocytes, hanging below the float, provides the animal with a means of capturing prey.
P. utriculus is distinguished from the Atlantic Portuguese Man o' War (Physalia physalis) by the smaller size of the float (six inches compared to twelve) and by having a single long fishing tentacle
