The White Spotted Jellyfish Resource
Hello there! I'm Tracy and I'm a student in New York City. For those jellyfish fanatics, this is a resource for some important information on the White Spotted Jellyfish. This resource site includes the ecology, genetics, evolution, and physiology of the species. Under physiology, you will find the digestion, reproduction, development, regulation, and gas exchange of these fascinating creatures. I hope you will be able to learn more about these magnificent (and pretty!) jellies. Enjoy!
