Ecology Summary - Nemopilema nomurai
SeaLifeBase
Ecology of Nemopilema nomurai
 
Main Ref. Kramp, P.L., 1961
Remarks Occurs in semi-enclosed basins of marginal seas (Ref. 122853) and also found offshore (Ref. 122855). Before the chitin-covered podocysts develop into adults, they remain dormant for at least 6 years. Jellyfish blooms occur by mass excystment of these podocysts upon exposure to high temperatures (Ref. 100312).
