Beroe abyssicola
Species of comb jelly / From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Beroe abyssicola is a species of beroid ctenophore, or comb jelly.[1] It is largely found in deep waters in the North Pacific Ocean, and is common in Japan and the Arctic Ocean. A predator, Beroe feeds mostly on other ctenophores by swallowing them whole. Like other ctenophores, B. abyssicola has a simple nervous system in the form of a nerve net, which it uses to direct its movement, feeding, and hunting behaviors.
