Mastigias
''Mastigias'' is a genus of true jellyfish in the family Mastigiidae. It contains seven described species. Members of this genus are found widely in coastal regions of the Indo-Pacific, including saline lakes of Palau (e.g., Jellyfish Lake), but there are also records from the West Atlantic at Florida and Puerto Rico. The West Atlantic records are most likely the result of accidental introductions by humans. Species According to the ''World Register of Marine Species'', this genus includes seven species: * '' Mastigias albipunctatus'' * '' Mastigias andersoni'' * '' Mastigias gracilis'' * '' Mastigias ocellatus'' – golden medusa * '' Mastigias pantherinus'' * ''Mastigias papua The spotted jelly (''Mastigias papua''), lagoon jelly, golden medusa, or Papuan jellyfish, is a species of jellyfish from the Indo-Pacific oceans.

Spotted Jelly (Mastigias Papua) In Vancouver
The spotted jelly (''Mastigias papua''), lagoon jelly, golden medusa, or Papuan jellyfish, is a species of jellyfish from the Indo-Pacific oceans. Like corals, sea anemones, and other sea jellies, it belongs to the phylum Cnidaria. ''Mastigias papua'' is one of the numerous marine animals living in symbiosis with zooxanthellae, a photosynthetic alga. They have a lifespan of approximately 4 months and are active primarily in mid-summer to early autumn.

Jellyfish Lake
Jellyfish Lake ( pau, Ongeim'l Tketau, lit=Fifth Lake) is a marine lake located on Eil Malk island in Palau. Eil Malk is part of the Rock Islands, a group of small, rocky, mostly uninhabited islands in Palau's Southern Lagoon, between Koror and Peleliu. There are about 70 other marine lakes located throughout the Rock Islands. Millions of golden jellyfish migrate horizontally across the lake daily. Jellyfish Lake is connected to the ocean through fissures and tunnels in the limestone of an ancient Miocene reef. However the lake is sufficiently isolated and the conditions are different enough that the diversity of species in the lake is greatly reduced from the nearby lagoon. The golden jellyfish, '' Mastigias'' cf. ''papua etpisoni'', and possibly other species in the lake have evolved to be substantially different from their close relatives living in the nearby lagoons. Lake stratification Jellyfish Lake is stratified into two layers, an oxygenated upper layer (mixolimni ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Mastigias Siderea
''Mastigias siderea'' is a species of jellyfish in the family Mastigiidae. It is native to the southern Pacific Ocean. Description The medusa of ''M. siderea'' grows to a diameter of about . There are about 60 marginal lappets and the surface of the bell is sculptured with deep radial furrows between these. The eight mouth arms are as long as the diameter of the bell, terminating in club-shaped filaments. There are seven radial canals which link to the ring canal. The bell is pale yellowish-brown with white spots; these are small near the margin but larger over the ring canal. The mouth arms are brown, spotted with white, and the terminal filaments are yellowish. Distribution ''M. siderea'' occurs in the southern Pacific Ocean. It is a pelagic The pelagic zone consists of the water column of the open ocean, and can be further divided into regions by depth (as illustrated on the right). The word ''pelagic'' is derived .

There are 96 marginal lappets and eight 3-winged mouth arms, terminating in a bare, club-shaped extremity, the tip of which is blue. The bell is reddish-brown, with white spots near the edge, each with a brown centre and margin. Distribution ''M. ocellatus'' occurs in October in the southern Pacific Ocean.

Jellyfish
Jellyfish and sea jellies are the informal common names given to the medusa-phase of certain gelatinous members of the subphylum Medusozoa, a major part of the phylum Cnidaria. Jellyfish are mainly free-swimming marine animals with umbrella-shaped bells and trailing tentacles, although a few are anchored to the seabed by stalks rather than being mobile. The bell can pulsate to provide propulsion for highly efficient locomotion. The tentacles are armed with stinging cells and may be used to capture prey and defend against predators. Jellyfish have a complex life cycle; the medusa is normally the sexual phase, which produces planula larvae that disperse widely and enter a sedentary polyp phase before reaching sexual maturity. Jellyfish are found all over the world, from surface waters to the deep sea. Scyphozoans (the "true jellyfish") are exclusively marine, but some hydrozoans with a similar appearance live in freshwater. Large, often colorful, jellyfish are common in ...

Mastigiidae
Mastigiidae is a family of true jellyfish. The family is native to the Indo-Pacific, but a species of ''Mastigias'' has been introduced to the West Atlantic, and ''Phyllorhiza punctata'' has been introduced to the West Atlantic and Mediterranean Sea.Cevik, C., O. B. Derici1, F. Cevik and L. Cavas (2011). ''First record of Phyllorhiza punctata von Lendenfeld, 1884 (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae: Mastigiidae) from Turkey.'' Aquatic Invasions 6(1): S27–S28 Genera According to the ''World Register of Marine Species'', this family includes 4 genera: * ''Mastigias'' * '' Mastigietta'' * '' Phyllorhiza'' * '' Versuriga'' – probably belongs in a separate monotypic In biology, a monotypic taxon is a taxonomic group (taxon) that contains only one immediately subordinate taxon.
