An established population of the alien jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda is present in Oludeniz Lagoon, off southwestern Turkey. This is the third record of this invasive species off the Turkish coast. The high abundance of the species in the Oludeniz Lagoon and along the Turkish coast is of great concern as it may annoy bathers and impact tourism.
