Despite being discovered to be causing Irukandji syndrome over 50 years ago, little is known on the ecology of its early life stage. Polyp stage is suggested to be found in estuarine habitats based on observed increase in asexual reproduction under low salinity conditions. Medusa is oceanic, typically found around coral reefs, islands, and along beaches with certain conditions. Species may live in areas with high degree of osmotic variation. Population stability was achieved at temperatures between 18 and 31°C; optimum temperature was at 22.9°C (Ref. 116835).
Life cycle and mating behavior
Γεννητική Ωρίμανση | Αναπαραγωγή | Γεννοβολία | Αβγά | Γονιμότητα | Προνύμφες
Life cycle: Eggs develop into planula stage within the egg capsules and hatch as free swimming planulae. Settled planulae metamorphose into primary polyps. Mature polyps undergo asexual reproduction through budding and develop into swimming polyps which later settle. Medusae then detach themselves from the polyp.
