Settlement of Planulae of the Moon Jellyfish Aurelia aurita onto Hydrophilic Polycarbonate Plates Modified by Atmospheric Plasma Treatment
It has been reported that planula larvae of some jellyfish prefer artificial substrates for settlement. This research focused on the relationship between the settlement of planulae and the wettability of artificial substrate surfaces. We used atmospheric plasmas to change the wettability of the surfaces of polycarbonate (PC) plates because plasma treatment has no chemical side effects. The trea...
متن کاملStructural and Developmental Disparity in the Tentacles of the Moon Jellyfish Aurelia sp.1
Tentacles armed with stinging cells (cnidocytes) are a defining trait of the cnidarians, a phylum that includes sea anemones, corals, jellyfish, and hydras. While cnidarian tentacles are generally characterized as structures evolved for feeding and defense, significant variation exists between the tentacles of different species, and within the same species across different life stages and/or bo...
متن کاملEffect of tea saponin on ephyrae and polyps of the moon jellyfish Aurelia sp.1
The moon jellyfish (Aurelia sp.1) is thought to be a nuisance for the sea cucumber aquaculture, which commonly occur in the sea cucumber (Apostichopus japonicus) culture ponds of the Yellow Sea, China. To develop an appropriate method to control Aurelia sp.1 blooms, the toxic effects of tea saponin on Aurelia sp.1 ephyrae and polyps were tested in laboratory experiments. Our results revealed th...
متن کاملMacro-morphological variation among cryptic species of the moon jellyfish, Aurelia (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa)
Morphological variation in qualitative and quantitative features is compared among species of Aurelia defined a priori using molecular criteria. Macromorphological features were more numerous than previously implied (28 cf. 17), most were variable (26 of 28), and all species were morphologically distinguishable using univariate, multivariate and phylogenetic statistics. However, due to discrepa...
متن کاملArtificial Reefs: the Florida Sea Grant Connection
Artificial reefs in Florida have been especially popular since the 1970s. With the advent of State Legislative funding in the 1990s, numerous local government and private interests have been able to develop reefs. The principal purpose is to enhance recreational fishing opportunities. But there are an increasing number of reefs being built as scuba diving sites and also to repair or mitigate da...
