The current study is the first to document a vast swarm of the pelagic tunicate Thalia democratica inshore of the Egyptian Mediterranean waters. On the May 05, 2021, a swarm of the Salpida T. democratica was discovered inshore of the coast of Stanley.

[1] Swarms of the salp Thalia democratica periodically occur off southeast Australia following the austral spring bloom of phytoplankton. In October 2008 a filament of upwelled water was advected south by the adjacent East Australian Current and formed

Aggregate stages of the salps Thalia democratica, Cyclosalpa affinis and Salpa cylindrica collected by SCUBA diving in the Mid-Atlantic Bight were fed with naturally occurring food assemblages. This is one of the few studies where salps have been fed

The large-scale distribution of thaliaceans in relation to environmental variables was investigated over 4500 km in the transition region of the North Pacific (36°N–43.6° N, 141.5° E–164.5° W) in the summer of 2016–2019. Three main patterns occurred in
