Exhibition and Breeding of Jellyfish in Enoshima Aquarium

The Enoshima Aquarium, which was opened in 1954, tried right from its beginning to be a pioneer amongst the Japanese aquariums for new husbandry and exhibition methods (Fig. 1). In the 1970s the Enoshima Aquarium became famous also outside of Japan for the trained fish shows (Gewalt, 1973). But already in 1973 the Enoshima Aquarium started to exhibit Moon jellyfish for the regular exhibition. Today 50 jellyfish species are shown in the exhibition.
