Salp

Salp atau salpa (jamak: salpae; Peter Forsskål, in introducing the genus Salpa from waters off Yemen (1763, publication 1775), gave no derivation for his word; the English salp first appeared in 1835 (OED, "salp")) adalah sejenis tunikata planktonik berbentuk tong yang masuk kedalam famili Salpidae. Mereka bergerak dengan cara mengkontraksikan tubuhnya. Gerakan tersebut memompa air kedalam tubuh mirip jeli-nya, dan menjadi contoh penggunaan propulsi jet di seluruh kerajaan hewan. Salp menyaring air yang diponpa melalui saringan makannya. Mereka memakan fitoplankton.
