In nature, there are treasures almost as ancient as life itself. One of those dates back approximately 600 million years and lies hidden in all the seas. This treasure is called medusozoans. We invite you to know who makes up this treasure and its leading researchers in the Mexican Pacific. Through these lines, you will also learn its diversity, appearance, relationships with other living beings, and where to find them, as well as their fishing value and other potential benefits they possess for society.
