Hydra and hydromedusa specimens were collected from the Jisanchon Stream in Kyonggi-do (Pyongtaek-shi) and the coasts of Geojedo Island (Jangmok-ri), Korea during the period July 1999-June 2000. They were identified into Hydra magnipapillata Ito, 1947 (Hydridae, Athecatae) and Phialidium folleatum (McCrady, 1857) (Campanulariidae, Leptomedusae) respectively. H. magnipapillata is blackish or light brown color, its cylinder-shaped trunk reaches to 20 ㎜ long and 0.5-0.6 ㎜ wide in fully extended, and has generally 5-6 highly delicate long tentacles. P. folleatum is a small marine hydromedusa, below 5 ㎜ wide and has a minute statocyst between successive tentacles.

Multitrophic interactions among gelatinous planktivores, zooplankton, and phytoplankton were in vestigated in Reeves Bay. New York from mid-March to July in 1989 to evaluate the top-down effect by gelatinous macrozooplankton on the Gyrodinium aureolum bloom through cascading tropic interactions. Zooplankton abundances reached maximal density following a decrease in gelatinous macrozooplankton (hydromedusae and scyphomedusae) abundances, and phytoplankton biomass was low at this time. Subsequently, as ctenophore populations increased zooplankton abundances decreased sharply, and the cell concnetration of G. aureolum began to increase. This field observation supports that the top-down control by gelatinous macrozooplankton on grazers, resulting in low grazing pressure on phytoplankton, can cause an algal bloom. The minimal zooplankton grazing measured using /SUP 14/C tracer technique during the bloom period indicated that zooplankton did not prefer G. aureolum as a good source.

Some hydromedusae were collected from the coasts of Seogwipo(Jejudo Island), Hoenggando Island and Ilsanhaesuyokjang(Ulsan), Korea on July 11, 1985; July 23, 1990 and July 16, 1994. They were identified into Aequorea coerulescens (Brandt, 1838) of the order Leptomedusae, and Physalia physalis utriculus La Martiniere, 1829 of the Siphonophora, respectively. The unique morphological characteristics of A. coerulescens are smooth even surface of exumbrella, large mouth with 60 highly fringed oral lobes, shallow stomach, 120 simple radial canals and flat beret-shaped bell. In P. physalis utriculus its morphological characteristics are a triangular large pneumatophore with very low or rudimentary crest, a ribbon like long slender main tentacle, siphon-shaped gastrozooid with mouth, finger-shaped dactylozooid and branched gonozooid with gonophores. P. physalia. utriculus is the Pacific form and distinguished from the Atlantic form, P. p. physalis which has a much larger pneumatophore with high crest, numerous large main tentacles, and compact arrangement of basal and ventral cormidia. As a result of this work the Korean hydromedusan fauna consists of 15 species of five orders.

Some hydromedusae were collected from the western and southern coasts of Korean Peninsula during May to October, 1995. They were identified into Turritopsis nutricula(McCrady, 1856); Cladonema radiatum Dujardin, 1843; Eirene menoni Kramp, 1953 and Gonionemus vertens A. Agassiz, 1862. Of which the hydromedusa of T. nutricula is preliminary known in Korean waters, and the remainders are new to the Korean fauna.

In the life cycle of Coryne pusilla Gaertner, a medusa is lacking and the planula larvae represent the only known dispersive stage. The planula larvae crawled on the surface of culture vessel for about 21 hours after release, and settle down and start metamprohosis.

Some hydromedusae were collected from the East Sea ($36^{\circ}$30'124'N and $130^{\circ}$06'446'E), Yousu and Youngkwang with horizontal plankton net during from Nov. 2001 to Dec. 2002. They were identified into Proboscidactyla flavicirrata in the order Limnomedusae, and Muggiaea bargmannae and Diphyes bojani in the suborder Calycophorae of the order Siphonophora, respectively. P. flavicirrata is similar with P. stellata in the shape and size, but it is distinguished from later species in that P. stellata has six radial canals, 24 short marginal tentacles and dichotomous branching pattern. The suborder Calycophorae is the first recorded in Korea and posseses only develop a nectosome. In Muggiaea bargmannae, anterior nectophore is simillar with Dimophyes arctica in the shape of nectophore, but it is distinguished from the later in that D. arctica has a undivided mouth plate and deeper hydroecium. In Diphyes bojani, anterior nectophore is simillar with Diphyes dispar in the shape of nectophore, but it is distinguished from the later in which D. dispar has a deeper hydroecium and more prominant dorsal tooth. No posterior nectophores of Muggiaea bargmannae and Diphyes bojani have been observed.

This study was aimed to investigate skin whitening effects of Nomura's jellyfish (Nemopilema nomurai) hydrolyzed extracts (NHE). The extracts were prepared through the hydrolysis of N. nomurai using commercial proteolytic enzymes such as Protamex, Alcalase, Flavourzyme and Neutrase with optimum pHs (pH 5-8) at $55^{\circ}C$. Their whitening activities were examined from the inhibition of melanin synthesis using B16-F1 cell lines. Among the examined samples, Neutrase-treated extract (N-NHE) showed the most significant inhibition effect on melanin synthesis by 89.9% at a concentration of $100{\mu}g/mL$. This sample decreased the expression of tyrosinase and TRP-1 (tyrosinase related protein-1) proteins as well. These results suggested the potential application of NHE as whitening ingredients in cosmetic preparation.

Monthly occurrence of the moon jellyfish (Scyphozoa: Ulmariidae: Aurelia aurita) was investigated in the southern coast of Korea in summer. The relationships not only between weight and length but also between length and food (rotifer and Artemia sp.) ingestion were also studied. Aurelia was monthly sampled 5 or 6 times at the coastal area between Jinhae and Geoje-do with a landing net (mouth: 30 cm, mesh size: 2 cm) at surface from June to August,2001. Aurelia aurita was dominated by 6-9 cm in June, 7-16 cm in July and 16 cm in August in bell diameter. The bell diameter was significantly related with weight (r=0.930, P<0.001). The ingestion rate was significantly different according to bell diameter and food density (ANOVA test: P<0.001).
