Environment: milieu / climate zone / depth range / distribution range
Ecology
Pelagic; depth range 4 - 3660 m (Ref. 123239). Subtropical; 4°N - 78°S, 180°W - 180°E
Southeast Pacific, Southern Atlantic, Western Indian Ocean and the Antarctic: from Amapa, Brazil to Weddell Sea and throughout the Antarctic.
Length at first maturity / Size / Weight / Age
Maturity: Lm ? range ? - ? cm Max length : 7.0 cm WD male/unsexed; (Ref. 121705)
Size refers to bell diameter (Ref. 121705). Depth based on occurrence; to be replaced with a better reference (Ref. 123239). Offshore (Ref. 813). Found in deep waters (Ref. 123239). Reported to have partially digested, large calanoid copepods, chaetognaths, hyperiid amphipods, and euphausiids attached to their gastric cirri, suggesting consumption of these prey items before capture (Ref. 122852).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Maturity | Reproduction | Spawning | Eggs | Fecundity | Larvae
Members of the class Scyphozoa are gonochoric. Life cycle: Egg is laid by the adult medusa which later develops into a free-living planula, then to a scyphistoma to a strobila, and lastly to a free-living young medusa.
