Cyanea is a genus of jellyfish, primarily found in northern waters of the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans and southern Pacific waters of Australia[1] and New Zealand, there are also several boreal,[2] polar, tropical and sub-tropical species. Commonly found in and associated with rivers and fjords.[3] The same genus name has been given to a genus of plants of the Hawaiian lobelioids, an example of a parahomonym (same name, different kingdom).[4]
