Abstract

The Hong Kong Jellyfish Project uses photographs and videos from citizen scientists to document the occurrence of jellyfish in this region. Based on these records, we describe sightings of two previously unrecorded species of box jellyfish, Malo filipina (Bentlage & Lewis, 2012) and an unidentified species of Morbakka sp. Gersh-win, 2008, in Hong Kong Special Administrative Region, China. This understanding of where these species cur-rently occur is important due to the potential impacts of box jellyfish on human activities and their role in local ecosystems. © The authors.
