Auritaqua

Abstract/Aim
The project “Auritaqua – protocols for maintenance and reproduction of the jellyfish Aurelia aurita” aimed at the development of protocols to maintain and reproduce the moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita, with transmission of know-how to ADN- Aquarium Design, a specialized company in the design, installation and maintenance of customized aquariums. The interest on jellyfish introduction in the ornamental market has been increasing but the use of this species has also some limitations since they occur seasonally in the environment. Reaching the project goals, aquaculture of this species will be made possible to supply the ornamental market throughout the year.
