Resumen
More than 200 very young medusae of Copula sivickisi (Stiasny) were collected within
totally 60 minutes at two nights in June, 2013 at the Seto Harbor, Shirahama, Wakayama, Japan. This
mass occurrence might be related to recent global warming at Shirahama, known as the
northernmost distributional locality of this cubozoan species. It is assumed that the polyp stage of
this species may live in the surrounding areas, because there jellyfish were small size (most are less
than 1.6 mm height) that was conceivable as the newly released one from the polyp.
