Izazi zezinto eziphilayo zaseBrithani zixwayisa ababhukudi kanye nabavakashele ukuthi isibalo esikhulu se-physalia, noma njengoba sibizwa nangokuthi, imikhumbi yamaPutukezi, sibonile emanzini eGreat Britain. Uma kwenzeka kuthintwa, le jellyfish ingadala ukulimala okuhlukahlukene komzimba.
Iqiniso lokuthi isikebhe sasePutukezi singena emanzini aseBrithani kwabikwa phambilini, kepha manje aqala ukutholakala emabhishi ezwe ngobuningi bawo. Kakade sekunemibiko yezidalwa eziyinqaba, ezivuthayo eCornwall naseScilly Archipelago eseduzane. Manje umphakathi uxwayiswa ngengozi ebangelwa ukuxhumana nekoloni elintantayo lemikhumbi yasePortugal. Ukulunywa kwalezi zidalwa kubangela ubuhlungu obukhulu futhi kwezinye izimo kungaholela ekufeni.
Ukuqaphela sekuqhubeka amasonto ambalwa selokhu iziphathimandla zase-Ireland zabika ukuthi lezi zilwane ezintantayo ezingaba yingozi zigezwe ogwini. Ngaphambi kwalokhu, i-fizalia yayibonakala kula manzi ngezikhathi ezithile kuphela. Babebaningi kakhulu ngo-2009 nango-2012. UDkt Peter Richardson weSociety for the Conservation of Marine Fauna uthe imibiko yezikebhe zasePortugal ikhomba ukuthi izibalo ezinkulu zalezi zilwane zabonwa ngalesi sikhathi sonyaka.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, kungenzeka ukuthi imisinga ye-Atlantic izoletha ngisho nangaphezulu kakhulu ogwini lwaseGreat Britain. Ngokweqiniso, isikebhe sasePutukezi asisiyo i-jellyfish, kepha sinokuningi okufana naso futhi siyikoloni elintantayo le-hydromedusa, eliqukethe isisindo sezinto ezincane zasolwandle ezihlala ndawonye futhi ziziphathe ngokuphelele.
I-Physalia ibukeka njengomzimba onsomi obonakalayo, ongabonakala ebusweni bamanzi. Ngaphezu kwalokho, anezintambo ezilenga ngaphansi kwe-float yomzimba futhi zingafinyelela ubude bamashumi ambalwa wamamitha. Lezi zinguquko zingaluma kabuhlungu futhi zingaba yingozi.
Isikebhe sasePutukezi esiphonswe ngaphandle ezinsikeni sibukeka njengebhola elibomvu elinciphe kancane elinamaribhoni aluhlaza okwesibhakabhaka asuka kulo. Uma izingane zihlangana naye, zingamthola ethakazelisa kakhulu. Ngakho-ke, wonke umuntu ohlose ukuvakashela amabhishi kule mpelasonto, ukuze agweme izinkinga, uyaxwayiswa ngokuthi lezi zilwane zibukeka kanjani. Futhi, bonke labo ababone imikhumbi yamaPutukezi bayacelwa ukuthi bazise izinsizakalo ezifanele ukuze babe nombono onembe kakhudlwana ngezinga lokuhlasela kweFizalia kulo nyaka.
