“…13,14,[45][46][47] Indeed, it has been recorded that some jellyfish species can live up to one or two years in the wild and have been kept for many more in display in public aquariums and zoos. 14,35,37,38,48 Most scyphozoan medusae are dioecious (ie they have either male or female reproductive organs) and reproduce sexually, with oocytes being fertilised in the water column, in the oral arms or in the gastrovascular cavity of females (eg Aurelia aurita and Cyanea capillata). 4,13,36,45 Oocytes can also be fertilised in the ovaries, as observed for Cotylorhiza tuberculata.…”

“…34,35,38 Ephyrae and juvenile medusae can also be cultured in adapted V-shaped, cylindrical or cylindroconical grow-out tanks (Figure 4), in flow-through systems or tanks aerated from the bottom centre to suspend these organisms in the water column. 34,35,37,39,53 Cassiopea spp. ephyrae can also be cultured in Erlenmeyer flasks, round tanks or rectangular glass tanks.…”

“…12,35,36 Undoubtedly, most effort has been put into the culture of the scyphozoan jellyfish A. aurita, with this being the most heavily (and more easily) cultured jellyfish in captivity. 12,37,38,54 The basic principles of the husbandry techniques for A. aurita have also been successfully applied to culture several other scyphozoan species. 34,35,37,53,58 Nevertheless, the successful breeding of most jellyfish species remains a challenge and requires further investigation on the suitability of maintenance conditions and species-specific nutrition requirements.…”

“…18,32,33 Additionally, in recent years, there has also been a growing interest on the culture of jellyfish for public displays in zoos and aquariums worldwide, as well as to supply private marine aquarium hobbyists. 12,[34][35][36][37][38] It is currently advocated that jellyfish aquaculture can be an important endeavour to safeguard a stable and regular supply of organisms, not only for public exhibition and ornamental purposes, 36,38,39 but also for fundamental and applied scientific research. 12,40,41 Moreover, jellyfish are also important model organisms for several research fields (eg behavioural biology, mathematics and biological engineering).…”

Interest on jellyfish research has significantly increased over the last two decades, mostly driven by the potential benefits of their high-end uses. Recent efforts have been put forward towards the commercial use of scyphozoan jellyfish, although the pipeline leading to their full exploitation is still at an early stage of development.Indeed, further research and several technical advances are still required to expand the use of these bioresources to a larger and more sustainable scale. Here, we describe the state of the art of culture systems already available to farm these organisms throughout the different stages of their life cycle and provide an overview of the potential applications of jellyfish aquaculture for food, feed, as source of bioactive compounds for pharmaceutical and other biotechnological applications, as well as to supply the marine aquarium trade. Overall, this work aims to raise awareness on the relevance that jellyfish will likely play on the development of sustainable blue bioeconomy frameworks fostering a sustainable valorisation of marine living resources.

“…A finales de 1980, el acuario de la bahía de Monterey desarrolló un nuevo diseño Kreisel para mantener medusas y en 2002, abrió su exposición "Living Art" que incluía piezas de arte y medusas vivas, esta exposición fue el inicio de la cría de medusas para su exhibición en varios acuarios del mundo (Lange et al, 2016). Uno de los acuarios que adoptó estas exhibiciones de medusas y mantiene una cooperación con la Universidad de Yamagata es el acuario Kamo, ambas partes están interesadas en la investigación genética de las subespecies de la medusa Palau (Mastigias papua) (Murakami, 2016).…”
