Nanomia bijuga, first described by Stefano Delle Chiaje in 1844 and originally named Physsophora bijuga, is a species of mesopelagic siphonophore in the family Agalmatidae[1] As with all members of the siphonophorae order, it is a colonial organism composed of individual zooids.[2] N. bijuga has a fairly broad distribution, and has been observed in the coastal waters off of North America and Europe.[3] The species has been found to occupy both epipelagic and mesopelagic depths.[4] They utilize specialized swimming zooids for both propulsion and escape behaviors.[5] Similar to other siphonophores, Nanomia bijuga employ stinging tentacles for hunting and defense.[2] They primarily feed on small crustaceans, especially krill.[6][7]
