The Scyphozoa are an exclusively marine class of the phylum Cnidaria, [2] referred to as the true jellyfish (or "true jellies"). The class name Scyphozoa comes from the Greek word skyphos ( σκύφος ), denoting a kind of drinking cup and alluding to the cup shape of the organism.
Hydrozoa (hydrozoans; from Ancient Greek ὕδωρ (húdōr; "water") and ζώα (zóa; "animals")) is a taxonomic class of individually very small, predatory animals, some solitary and some colonial, most of which inhabit saline water.
[2] [3] [4] The jellyfish are typically dried and/or salted. [1] In China, which was the first country documented to use jellyfish as food, this has been practiced at least since the year 300 CE , [ 1 ] but they are also commonly consumed in Japan (the largest consumer of jellyfish today), Korea and southeast Asia.
Cubozoa is a group commonly known as box jellyfish, that occur in tropical and warm temperate seas. They have cube-shaped, transparent medusae and are heavily-armed with venomous nematocysts. Cubozoans have planula larvae, which settle and develop into sessile polyps, which subsequently metamorphose into sexual medusae, [ 11 ] the oral end of ...
The process of producing dehydrated jellyfish typically includes the removal of the tentacles prior to drying, [6] [13] because the upper dome area of the marine animal is the part typically used for cooking. [10] Jellyfish deteriorate rapidly at room temperature so processing starts soon after they are caught.
Pacific sea nettles, Chrysaora fuscescens. Cnidaria (/ n ɪ ˈ d ɛər i ə, n aɪ-/ nih-DAIR-ee-ə, NY-) [4] is a phylum under kingdom Animalia containing over 11,000 species [5] of aquatic invertebrates found both in fresh water and marine environments (predominantly the latter), including jellyfish, hydroids, sea anemones, corals and some of the smallest marine parasites.
Bazinga rieki could not be placed in any known family or suborder of rhizostome jellyfish, so a new family Bazingidae was erected; it represents a new suborder of Rhizostomeae, called Ptychophorae. [1] Bazinga rieki has a thick round translucent and colourless body, the aboral (upper) surface of which is covered in tiny warts with yellow centres.
Staurozoa is a class of Medusozoa (or jellyfish).It has one extant order: Stauromedusae (stalked jellyfishes) with a total of 50 known species. A fossil group called Conulariida has been proposed as a second order, [3] although this is highly speculative.
