For the very first time in India, marine biologists have reportedly discovered a lake full of jellyfish in Gujarat.

Providing further detailed information on it, wildlife scientist BC Choudhury stated that the jellyfish were found in very high concentration and density so much so that when the water is clear and the tide is low they can be easily spotted.

Choudhury and his team of researchers from the Wildlife Trust of India were on a routine field visit to a small town named Armabada in Gujarat where to their utter surprise they stumbled on a jellyfish habitat.

After that a few of the team members in their snorkeling kits and an underwater camera went underwater for further investigation. They found that the bottom of the lake was spread over 5-6 hectares and was fully covered with a jellyfish type that is identified as 'upside down jellyfish'.

These jelly fish are called so due to the fact that they are always found swimming upside down unlike other jellyfish.

Marine biologist S Goutham explained, "They position themselves on their bottom side to receive maximum sunlight as they harbour photosynthetic algae called Zooxanthellae, which have a symbiotic relationship with jellyfish similar to corals".

The unique part about this whole discovery is the fact that jellyfish are found in different parts of coastal India but are seen rarely in lakes. Also, another unique thing is that these jellyfish are present all around the year in this lake unlike other places where they are reported to be seasonal.
