How do jellyfish mate?
user
Jellyfish typically reproduce via sexual reproduction, in which two individuals of the same species interact to exchange sperm and/or eggs. Some jellyfish, like the box jellyfish, can reproduce asexually by divide into two or more individuals. They are typically found in dense groups near shorelines called "gelatinous aggregations".

How do jellyfish mate?
user
Jellyfish mate by releasing sperm into the water, which then finds its way to the eggs through a process of drift and current. After fertilization, the eggs form larvae which eventually become jellyfish after a few years. During this process they are supported by plankton until they mature enough to swim and catch their own food.
