In near natural conditions medusa release is correlated with sudden drop of light intensity such as occurs around sunset. Timing could be manipulated by controlling light intensity. Artificial sunset 2 hours earlier than normal caused mass release of medusae earlier than under natural conditions, whereas sunset artificially delayed 3 hours later than normal caused continuous release of medusa after the onset of darkness. The spawning of gametes of H. disticha is almost simultaneous with medusa release, and since the medusa has an ephemeral planktonic existence, synchrony of mass medusa release and also spawning of gametes may maximize fertilization success.

Rua Ceará, Campus Umuarama, 38402-400 Uberlândia, MG, Brazil. E-mail: [email protected] ABSTRACT. Hydroids are broadly reported in epiphytic associations from different localities showing marked seasonal cycles. Studies have shown that the factors behind these seasonal differences in hydroid richness and abundance may vary significantly according to the area of study. Seasonal differences in epiphytic hydroid cover and richness were evaluated in a Sargassum cymosum C. Agardh bed from Lázaro beach, at Ubatuba, Brazil. Significant seasonal differences were found in total hydroid cover, but not in species richness. Hydroid cover increased from March (early fall) to February (summer). Most of this pattern was caused by two of the most abundant species: Aglaophenia latecarinata Allman, 1877 and Orthopyxis sargassicola (Nutting, 1915). Hydroid richness seems to be related to S. cymosum size but not directly to its biomass. The seasonal differences in hydroid richness and algal cover are shown to be similar to other works in the study region and in the Mediterranean. Seasonal recruitment of hydroid species larvae may be responsible for their seasonal differences in algal cover, although other factors such as grazing activity of gammarid amphipods on S.

Coral reefs are currently being threatened by ocean acidification (OA), which may lower calcification rates, reduce skeletal density, and increase aragonite dissolution. Crystallography and chemistry are what govern the materials properties of minerals, such solubility and strength. Thus, understanding the mineralogical nature of coral aragonite and how it forms are important for predicting bulk skeletal responses under climate change.

  • CNIDARIA Corals, Medusae, Hydroids, Myxozoans
    FOUR Phylum CNIDARIA corals, medusae, hydroids, myxozoans STEPHEN D. CAIRNS, LISA-ANN GERSHWIN, FRED J. BROOK, PHILIP PUGH, ELLIOT W. Dawson, OscaR OcaÑA V., WILLEM VERvooRT, GARY WILLIAMS, JEANETTE E. Watson, DENNIS M. OPREsko, PETER SCHUCHERT, P. MICHAEL HINE, DENNIS P. GORDON, HAMISH J. CAMPBELL, ANTHONY J. WRIGHT, JUAN A. SÁNCHEZ, DAPHNE G. FAUTIN his ancient phylum of mostly marine organisms is best known for its contribution to geomorphological features, forming thousands of square Tkilometres of coral reefs in warm tropical waters. Their fossil remains contribute to some limestones. Cnidarians are also significant components of the plankton, where large medusae – popularly called jellyfish – and colonial forms like Portuguese man-of-war and stringy siphonophores prey on other organisms including small fish. Some of these species are justly feared by humans for their stings, which in some cases can be fatal. Certainly, most New Zealanders will have encountered cnidarians when rambling along beaches and fossicking in rock pools where sea anemones and diminutive bushy hydroids abound. In New Zealand’s fiords and in deeper water on seamounts, black corals and branching gorgonians can form veritable trees five metres high or more. In contrast, inland inhabitants of continental landmasses who have never, or rarely, seen an ocean or visited a seashore can hardly be impressed with the Cnidaria as a phylum – freshwater cnidarians are relatively few, restricted to tiny hydras, the branching hydroid Cordylophora, and rare medusae. Worldwide, there are about 10,000 described species, with perhaps half as many again undescribed. All cnidarians have nettle cells known as nematocysts (or cnidae – from the Greek, knide, a nettle), extraordinarily complex structures that are effectively invaginated coiled tubes within a cell.

Since then the medusa was sometimes reported from the southern coast and the eastern lagoon of Sakhalin and the eastern part of Hokkaido, Japan by UcHIDA (1925, 1927, 1940). However, its life history remains mostly unknown, as also in other members of the genus Polyorchis except for the fragmental records of the medusan development in P. penicillatus by FEWKES ( 1889) and FOERSTER (1923), in P. karafutoensis by UcHIDA (1927) and in P. montereyensis by SKOGSBERG ( 1948). In Akkeshi Bay Polyorchis karafutoensis is commonly found from middle April to late July. The early development of this species was previously reported by the author (NAGAO, 1963). In the present paper the metamorphosis and the growth in the medusan stage are dealt with. The medusae were collected in Akkeshi Bay and in Akkeshi Lake which is a lagoon and is directly connected with the bay (cf. UcHIDA et al., 1963). The medusae were collected by surface tow every week on the average during April - July in 1963 and 1965.
