Mnemiopsis have an oval-shaped and transparent lobed body, with four rows of ciliated combs that run along the body vertically and glow blue-green when disturbed. Spawning in this area peaks between 2:00 and 4:00 h. In the Black Sea, spawning begins at midnight to 2:00 h. No spawning in spring at 8 to 16 C, intensive spawning in late summer to autumn at temperature 23 C. Ctenophores are distinguished from all other animals by possession of sticky cells called colloblasts and their eight rows of cilia. Afzelius, B. Most beroids are in the genus Beroe. Harbison, G.

Sometimes though, for convenience, scientists lump medusae and ctenophores together and call them both "jellyfish", when the scientists are trying to make a point about these two groups of unrelated organisms that are ecologically very similar and often found in the same places (see also the paragraph just above this one).

Following the completion of the genome sequencing and gene prediction of Mnemiopsis leidyi, a lobate ctenophore that is native to the coastal waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, we developed and implemented the Mnemiopsis Genome Project Portal (MGP Portal), a comprehensive Web-based data portal for navigating the genome sequence and gene annotations.
