| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study aimed to clarify the genetic diversities and population connectivities of blooming jellyfish which were commercially harvested in Southeast Asia. In addition, information on the early life histories and symbionts of those jellyfish are obtained, and the mechanism of the bloom and the lifecycle strategy supporting the bloom are discussed. A clear difference in the genetic connectivities between local populations were recognized between two dominant jellyfish species, suggesting the mechanism of forming bloom may be different in those species. In some blooming species, a previously-unknown asexual reproduction was observed, and this may be adaptive to their habitat. Those blooming jellyfish in the Southeast Asia are considered important as hosts of various symbiotic organisms.
