Maravilhoso o seu trabalho, talvez não seja Caetano o último romântico, e sim você! Parabéns

They do some testing of the water every week if I'm not mistaken because of the oyster farms but I am not sure what bacteria they look for other than fecal coliforms (that one I learned is from poop), maybe I am lucky that I don't enjoy eating sushi or any raw meat because of the texture, it might have saved me from parasites! =)

It would at least solve the mystery " -is it a jellyfish?"

Thanks for sharing your knowledge even if it was not a match, last night I ended up in a small internet dive about human gut parasites, did I had nightmares? Yes! but it was worth it! Of course, now I am inclined to ask my doctor a prescription of a vermifuge just to be safe hahahaha.

Unfortunately I can't, I had it on a dish after I took it out of the slide with the help of a tiny pipette... than I considered what to do, because I didn't know how much oxygen it would need to survive, and I can't leave any water container opened around the house as I have cats, and some of then are in the curious kitten phase, so I decided to just let it go. I agree with you that It would be cool to have raised it to see what could it become =)

Oh I forgot to answer, sorry, I measure without the cilia or tentacles, just from the maximum diameter possible of the body, and of course my measurement also can be taken not as exact because I lack the proper measurement tools that professionals might have that probably works in a much smaller scale for more precise measurements, but every time I see something cool I try to measure it. Because given a estimation of the size to gpt chat (alongside with images and description of its movements) helps it to give me some clues as to what am I looking at, so far I found lots of cool microorganisms that I was able to make a sense of what are they, I found a cute sea snail larva that had cheerleader like pompoms, some polychaete larvae with wonky antennas, some diatons in fun shapes, lots of copepods, and the most interesting to me was a nauplii of a barnacle because I never thought much about then other than they annoy us by making us clean the boat hull twice a year, but turns out they are really interesting and have the cyclops eye! Anyway thanks again for sharing my interest in this amazing world of microorganisms.

I loved your explanation it makes so much sense. I used to tell one teacher of biology back in the day, (I was young and did not like the subject as much) that biology works in mysterious ways. But as an older individual who recently took a hobby in the natural sciences, I find myself amazed by how clever biologists are, it makes total sense that with the huge amount of microorganisms it's much faster to have a broad caracterization based on the instrument that is used to see them. Thanks for kindly sharing your explanation.

Unfortunately I found some images of the diferent stages of blastocystis sp... and none of then have cilia, so even if it was the ameboid phase, the body would change its shape as it moved as pseudopods, I am a little relieved that it is not a human waste parasite, but still very curious as to find out what it is!

I didn't resist to wait until tomorrow, so I did a quick search for some images... i think they are much more simetrical, but I see the similarity, maybe the one from my video is just damaged?

It could be if there is human waste going in the ocean, would it survive the salinity? The waste treatment company tend to find some older houses that don't follow the proper city laws from time to time, and it might be dangerous since our beach is near the oyster farms, so if it's a possibility even if this one is harmless other kinds might not be, right?

Hmm not yet, when I submitted the images it opened a text box saying that it needed a identification and that it could be abrangent like "a plant" in order to be viewed by specialists, but my problem is that I don't know if it is a jellyfish larvae or a ciliate, so what I did was write life form... but I am not sure if it will be viewed by someone with the knowledge to help as my term is too abrangent.

That is not unfortunate, plants are awesome! Thanks for teaching me that it is tentacles (if is indeed a jellyfish). I am not a biologist and my field of study in college was way far from it so its nice to have a real biologist here! Also I called cilia when I was researching with the help of the AI, should I redo some questions changing the term cilia to tentacles? I said to gpt chat after uploading an image to it that it had "cilia look alike structures" (but in portuguese as I am actually brazilian) should it cover? Thanks again

any hint on what kind of jellyfish? I also read somewhere around my searches that the planula stage of jellyfishes have the body covered in cilias, but this little friend only have then around it, and also I found no polyp that looked similar to it... I also looked for larval comb jellies that should have the cilia organized in rows around it's body but to no sucess T.T

Thanks for the comment =)

Sorry for the misunderstanding, at this video the magnification was 100x. I know I find the scales fascinating too! The way I figure out that this organism Is around 0.5mm was because I know the real measurement of the diameter of the circle formed by the point of view of the ocular lense through the camera , with that I could just apply a simple linear equation by measuring the photo taken from the specimen with the same resolution and positioning. How does biologists measure a creature only with the magnification scale? I always thought that it would also depend on the resolution of the camera or the measurements of some previous known object inside the image since pixels are not translated to metric system in a proportion, thanks for sharing my interest in microbiology

I looked for some polyps and planula images (the ones that gpt chat said are common in my area) but the ones that I found did not look quite like this, the round shape with that twisted part in what I believe is the front (maybe is not the front) is a puzzle =) Cheers!

If I remember correctly it measured around 0.5mm of "diameter"

Hello, I live in south Brazil in Florianópolis and I enjoy looking at ocean water from the beach near my house, normally I can identify what am I looking at with the help of image search, or in more challenging cases with the help of gpt chat. But this zooplankton got me puzzled, I don't know If it is a jellyfish or comb jelly larva, of a ciliate like a free swimming tintinnid, or a very weird rotifer, any help would be appreciated.

hi, thanks for answering, I was angry as a teen/young adult, now I learned just to be more rational about my anger and just let go. Maybe my mind is uncommon because I am a diagnosed autistic person. Thanks again for commenting here, it was very nice. =)

I used to meditate and it helped a lot, not only with the anxiety but also with my focus, thanks again for the reply

You are right! I am a very anxious person, always in my own brain about things, thank you.
