Jellyfish galaxies are excellent test-beds to investigate the short-term effect of ram-pressure stripping on star formation (SF) in groups and clusters of galaxies. It has been argued that the SF activity of these objects depends on the properties of the environment in which they reside, but it is not clear yet if there exists a real correlation in that sense. This work presents preliminary results on the identification of stripped galaxy candidates in the context of the S-PLUS Fornax Project (S+FP), which aims to study the galaxy population of the Fornax cluster and its outskirts using S-PLUS wide-field (1.4 x 1.4 deg^2) images obtained in 12 bands (5 broad + 7 narrow) of 98 pointings in the direction ofFornax. We make use of S-PLUS' multi band data to identify extreme cases of ram-pressure stripping.
