Cyanea (jellyfish)
''Cyanea'' is a genus of jellyfish, primarily found in northern waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and southern Pacific waters of Australia and New Zealand, there are also several boreal, polar, tropical and sub-tropical species. Commonly found in and associated with rivers and fjords. The same genus name has been given to a genus of plants of the Hawaiian lobelioids, an example of a ''parahomonym'' (same name, different kingdom). Species The taxonomy of ''Cyanea'' species has seen increased scrutiny in recent years.Dawson MN. 2005.

Lion's Mane Jellyfish
The lion's mane jellyfish (''Cyanea capillata''), also known as the giant jellyfish, arctic red jellyfish, or the hair jelly, is one of the largest known species of jellyfish. Its range is confined to cold, boreal waters of the Arctic, northern Atlantic, and northern Pacific Oceans. It is common in the English Channel, Irish Sea, North Sea, and in western Scandinavian waters south to Kattegat and Øresund. It may also drift into the southwestern part of the Baltic Sea (where it cannot breed due to the low salinity). Similar jellyfish – which may be the same species – are known to inhabit seas near Australia and New Zealand. The largest recorded specimen was measured off the coast of Massachusetts in 1865 and had a bell with a diameter of and tentacles around long. Lion's mane jellyfish have been observed below 42°N latitude for some time in the larger bays of the East Coast of the United States. The lion's mane jellyfish uses its stinging tentacles to capture, pull in, a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyanea Annaskala
''Cyanea annaskala'' is a species of jellyfish that was discovered in 1882 by Robert Lendlmayer von Lendenfeld. Phylogeny ''Cyanea annaskala'' is in the scyphozoan class of the phylum Cnidaria. The scyphozoans are the true jellies. It is within the order Semaeostomeae. The Semaeostomeae are the flag mouth jellies. It is within the family Cyaneidae, which contain the better known species of the lion's mane jellyfish. The phylogeny of the Lion's mane jellyfish has long been debated since their discovery, and the ''Cyanea Annaskala'' has long been implicated in this difficulty. The high proportion of cosmopolitan species in pelagic individuals makes it extremely tedious to differentiate between closely related members. Because of limited study and challenging experimentation, not all of the ''Cyanea'' species from the North Atlantic are considered valid. Protein and medusae analysis from Michael N. Dawson of the University of New South Wales confirm that ''Cyanea Annaskala'' is ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cyanea Nozakii
''Cyanea nozakii'' or ''Cyanea nozaki'' (misspelling), commonly known as the ghost jellyfish, is a species of jellyfish found in the northern Pacific Ocean near the coasts of China and Japan. Along with other species of large jellyfish, it is showing a greater tendency to appear in large numbers and cause blooms. Description The medusa stage of ''Cyanea nozakii'' has a distinctive flat-topped bell which can grow to a diameter of . The bell is usually cream or pale yellow in colour with a dark centre and a translucent rim. It has eight large marginal lobes and eight bundles of thread-like marginal tentacles. There may be a hundred or more tentacles in each bundle which are either translucent or a reddish colour, and can extend for . Under the centre of the bell is the manubrium, the mouth being surrounded by a tangled mass of rusty-brown or orange oral tentacles. Distribution ''Cyanea nozakii'' is found around the coasts of China and Japan. Since the beginning of this century, ''C ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Cyanea Lamarckii
''Cyanea lamarckii'', also known as the blue jellyfish or bluefire jellyfish, is a species of jellyfish in the family Cyaneidae. Description Blue jellyfish age can be identified by color of their bell. They tend to be pale in appearance when young, but mature to have a brightly purple-blue (some yellow) colored bell. Although it is similar to the lion's mane jellyfish, the blue jellyfish is not as large, and has a translucent bell. ''C. lamarckii'' has a blue or yellow tone and grows to approximately across, but specimens can grow to . In Scandinavian seas, this species rarely grows larger than . These jellyfish drift closer to the shore to catch the large abundance of plankton with their tentacles. This jellyfish has many stinging tentacles. The four mouth arms are large with many wrinkles and ripples. The jellyfish live off a diet of phytoplankton or zooplankton as well as the eggs and larvae of other aquatic animals such as fish. ''Cyanea lamarkii'' use their tentacles c ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Cyanea Fulva
''Cyanea fulva'', the Atlantic lion's mane jellyfish, is a species of jellyfish found along the Mid-Atlantic coastal region of the United States. ''C. fulva'' are commonly noted as being about two inches in diameter and smaller than ''C. capillata'', however, larger than ''C. versicolor'', a co-occurring close species. One distinctive feature present in mature ''C. fulva'' populations is their four mouth-part tentacles, containing a cinnamon color with the center of the main cavity being darker. At a young age, these jellyfish can have three appendages but often gain a fourth at more developed life cycle stages. ''C. fulva'' are also known for having less folds compared to ''C. arctica'' but more folds compared to ''C. versicolor''. These folds are described as being remarkably thin and deciduous. Their distribution is commonly associated with regions south of Cape Cod and in the Long Island Sound. ''C. fulva'' demonstrate a peak in their population during the middle of summer and ...
