Advancing zoology through gelatinous fauna research and innovation.
A research-driven initiative dedicated to advancing the scientific understanding of both planktic and benthic jellies of three phyla, Cnidaria, Ctenophora, and Chordata (jellyfauna), across the Indo-Pacific and beyond.
Since 2016, we have conducted long-term research focused on jellyfauna taxonomy, ecology, fisheries, and broader biological interactions across global aquatic ecosystems.
A dedicated scientific platform advancing the understanding of jellyfauna biology, ecosystems, and long-term marine impact.
Providing expert consultation, educational outreach, and professional services for research institutions and the public.
To establish jellyfauna research stream as a distinct and recognized branch within the field of zoology.
To advance jellyfauna research through dedicated scientific study, collaboration, and the sharing of knowledge across communities.
Studying jellyfauna reveals critical insight into one of the oldest and most adaptive life forms in aquatic ecosystems.
Through the examination of jellyfauna biology, behavior, and ecological roles across marine and freshwater systems, researchers gain a deeper understanding of ecosystem dynamics, resilience, and long-term environmental change.
