Over het archief
Het OWA, het open archief van het Waterbouwkundig Laboratorium heeft tot doel alle vrij toegankelijke onderzoeksresultaten van dit instituut in digitale vorm aan te bieden. Op die manier wil het de zichtbaarheid, verspreiding en gebruik van deze onderzoeksresultaten, alsook de wetenschappelijke communicatie maximaal bevorderen.
Dit archief wordt uitgebouwd en beheerd volgens de principes van de Open Access Movement, en het daaruit ontstane Open Archives Initiative.

| Abstract |
This memoir comprises a systematic survey of all species of Hydromedusae recorded from New Zealand waters. Of the more than 134 species represented in the fauna, 124 are named to species and 10 are named togenus only. Each species entry is accompanied by: diagnostic characters and an illustration of the medusa, a short diagnosis of the hydroid stage where known, a summary of geographical distribution, and some keyreferences. Keys for identification are given for the orders, families, genera, and described species. Approximately 76% are meropelagic (neritic, epipelagic, or slope species) and 23% are holopelagic. Approximately 55% of the meropelagic medusae (Anthomedusae, Leptomedusae, Lirnnomedusae, Laingiomedusae) have their life-cycle unknown, and, among the 49 species with known life-cycles, 16 are only imperfectly known from experimental rearing and are not yet known in the field. |
