Nausithoe aurea, also known as the Nausithoe maculata, is a species of crown jellyfish found off the southeastern coast of Brazil.[2] The central disc has been measured to be 10.5 mm. N. aurea is transparent with yellow and brown spots located around the gonads.[3] N. aurea can reproduce either asexually by strobilation or sexually.[4] Either ephyrae or planuloids may be produced by strobilation; only ephyrae can produce the medusal form.[5] Strobilation can be induced to occur when food is abundant. In polyps, a large availability of food leads to strobilation if it is not regulated.[6] N. aurea species usually take more than 20 weeks to begin the differentiation and development of reproductive organs.[2]
