Does gravity effect jellyfish graviceptors in various conditions. Can behaviors be modified/affected by changes in gravitational fields?
Does magnetism affect jellyfish behaviors, propagation or navigation? We are studying the differing effect of natural (non-electrical) and electromagnetism has on jellies.
Does Ultra & Sub sonic soundwaves affect jellyfish propagation, behaviors or feeding patterns. Do jellyfish react to music?
Can jellyfish Larva and Polyp stages survive harsh freezing conditions, are there lasting effect to its adult development?
Can an electric current effect the maturation of jellyfish, does it have behavioral effects.
Are jellyfish a viable source of fertilizer?

Tiny plastic particles, commonly referred to as microplastics, have emerged as a recent and pressing ecological issue. These minuscule particles have diverse origins, one of which includes microbeads, the minute spheres present in specific shower gels and toothpastes.
Microplastics are generated through the fragmentation of synthetic fibers during laundry cycles and the natural gradual deterioration of larger plastic materials in the environment.
Research findings have illuminated the intriguing phenomenon of jellyfish mucus effectively adhering to microplastic particles. This discovery opens the door to innovative solutions, such as incorporating biofilters made from jellyfish mucus into sewage treatment facilities, thereby offering a promising remedy for this environmental concern. Furthermore, the application of jellyfish biofilters extends beyond sewage treatment; it could prove invaluable in the context of factories and manufacturing plants responsible for generating microplastic waste, offering an efficient means of mitigating the issue at its source.
