“…9. Its life cycle is essentially the same as that reported for several other rhizostome species (Paspaleff 1938, Calder 1973, 1982, Ding & Chen 1981, Lotan et al 1992). The scyphistomae of N. nomurai underwent ongoing asexual reproduction for >1.5 yr in our laboratory.…”

“…The life cycle of C. nozakii was compared with earlier descriptions of the life cycles of C. capillata (Widersten 1968, Brewer 1976, 1984, 1989, 1991, R. esculentum (Ding & Chen 1981), Rhizostoma pulmo Agass (Paspaleff 1938, Russell 1970 and Stomolophus meleagris L.

“…Widersten (1965) showed that planulae of C. capillata could also form planulocysts prior to forming a scyphistoma, and that scyphistomae could produce podocysts. However, R. esculentum (Ding & Chen 1981), S. meleagris (Calder 1982), and N. nomura (Kawahara et al 2006) only produced one kind of cysts: podocysts. The numbers of ephyrae released from a strobila varied among species, Dale (1982), Ding & Chen (1981), and Kawahara et al (2006) found that S. meleagris, R. esculentum and N. nomurai all were polydiscous.…”

Mass aggregations of the giant jellyfish Cyanea nozakii have occurred in China since the end of the 20th century. In particular, C. nozakii bloomed abnormally in Liaodong Bay during July and August of 2004 and the catch of edible Rhopilema esculentum was greatly reduced. In order to clarify the causes leading to mass occurrences of C. nozakii, the reproductive cycle and morphological characters of this species were compared with other common jellyfish species using data from both laboratory-rearing experiments and field investigations. The results showed that, in particular, settling of planulae and asexual reproductive strategies of scyphystomae made C. nozakii more capable of thriving under unfavorable physical conditions than R. esculentum. The ephyrae of Nemopilema nomurai, R. esculentum, C. nozakii, Aurelia aurita, Rhopilema hispidum and Rhopilema asamushi were differentiated by different shapes of lappets, rhopalar clefts, gastric filaments and nematocyst batteries. In addition, the life cycle of C. nozakii was compared with earlier reports on the life cycle of Cyanea capillata, R. esculentum, Rhizostoma pulmo, Stomolophus meleagris and N. nomurai, and the morphology of adult C. nozakii was compared and contrasted with species of the genus Cyanea (C. capillata, C. ferruginea and C. purpurea).

This work is a concise guide to the methods, techniques and equipment needed for the collection and transport of specimens, for arranging, maintaining and controlling cultures, for handling polyps, ephyrae, medusae and/or planuloids, and for standardising species description on the basis of life-cycle studies of Scyphozoa Coronatae. Objective characteristics meaningful to systematics are listed and illustrated. Suggestions for important literature sources are given, mainly on the rearing of metagenetic cnidarians in the laboratory.Keywords Cnidaria · Scyphozoa · Coronatae · Rearing techniques IntroductionSince there have been different groups of researchers working on medusae and polyps, respectively, non-consistent classification systems have been introduced for the two generations of metagenetic cnidarians. To unify these systems for phylogenetic systematics it is essential to study life cycles. Since Naumov (1960), who tried to unify the systems of the Hydrozoa, numerous studies on life cycles have been done on this group, e.g. by Boero (1980aBoero ( , b, 1987, Bouillon (1989, 1993), Boero et al. (1991Boero et al. ( , 1992Boero et al. ( , 1995Boero et al.

Detailed information about the cultivation of hydrozoans and scyphozoans has been given, among others, by Cargo (1975), Cornelius (1995 and Tardent (1978, pp 191-198).In this paper we compile information from previous papers and add our own experiences to present a manual for cultivating coronates and elucidating their life cycles. This may help in collecting relevant data for cladistic research. Collecting specimensThe coronates have traditionally been considered as deepsea animals. Many medusae have been found in mid-or deep waters, such as the genera Atolla, Periphylla, Paraphyllina and some species of Na...
