摘要: Podocysts are cysts with stored reserves of organic compounds produced beneath the pedal discs polyps scyphozoans in orders Rhizostomae (suborder Dactyliophorae) and Semaeostomae. They excyst small that develop into fully active (scyphistomae) capable further podocyst production medusa by strobilation. contribute to increasing number also survival through seasonal periods reduced food availability or predation. These attributes may help support scyphozoan blooms, but as yet there few quantitative data.
