Jellyfish are beautiful and mesmerizing creatures that inhabit all the marine waters of the world. There are more than 2000 species of jellyfish and they are spread across all the seas and oceans in the world, from the cold Arctic to the warm tropical seas of the Pacific and Indian Oceans. Different species of jellyfish exist at all different levels of water, from the surface to the very depths. Jellyfish are extremely fragile creature with only 5% or less of solid organic matter in their bodies and require very specific conditions to thrive in.
Jellyfish are found in every ocean, from the surface to the deep sea. Scyphozoans are exclusively marine, but some hydrozoans live in freshwater.
Jellyfishes live in oceans and seas of all around the world, in shallow or deep waters and in some rivers and lakes too.

Most jellyfishes live in seawaters, some of them in freshwaters.
Small jellyfish prefer habitats near the coastline, such as harbors, quiet bays and estuaries. The mangrove jellyfish, found in the roots of mangroves in the southern Gulf of Mexico, Caribbean, and other tropical waters prefers making its habitat in shallow water.
