Article Synopsis
- - The study reviewed the life cycles and reproductive strategies of Rhizostomeae, revealing that about 30% of valid species have documented life cycles, primarily showing a metagenetic cycle with both asexual and sexual reproduction phases.
- - Most Rhizostomeae species are dioecious (having distinct male and female individuals), but there are exceptions, and different taxa exhibit varying methods of asexual reproduction, with the mode differing between groups like Dactyliophorae and Kolpophorae.
- - The authors suggest more research is needed, such as documenting additional species' life cycles, field studies to locate polyps, and experimental studies to better understand the population dynamics and factors influencing medusa production.
Gelatinous organisms are crucial components of marine ecosystems and some species imply social and economic consequences. However, certain geographic areas, such as the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SWA, 27° - 56° S), remain understudied in terms of jellyfish ecological data. We analyzed 3,727 plankton samples collected along ~6.

Here, we present the first record of the scyphomedusa sp. in an aquaculture pond on the coast of the southern Yellow Sea, based on a combination of morphological characteristics and mitochondrial 16S DNA sequence data.
