Pampus echinogaster was a carnivore and its major food items were crustaceans, hydromedusae, salps, Sagitta, and fish. Larvae and small juveniles preyed heavily on copepods. However, the portion of the diet attributable to copepods was decreased with increasing size, and this decrease was paralleled by an increased consumption of hydromedusae, salps, Sagitta, and fish.

Some hydromedusae were collected from the western and southern coasts of Korean Peninsula during May to October, 1995. They were identified into Turritopsis nutricula(McCrady, 1856); Cladonema radiatum Dujardin, 1843; Eirene menoni Kramp, 1953 and Gonionemus vertens A. Agassiz, 1862. Of which the hydromedusa of T. nutricula is preliminary known in Korean waters, and the remainders are new to the Korean fauna.

Some marine hydromedusae were collected from the coasts of Geojedo Island and Changho harbour in Korea during the period from January 1997 to March 1999. They were identified into Rathkea octopunctata (M. Sars, 1835), Spirocodon saltatrix (Tilesius, 1818) in Anthomedusae and Dipleurosoma typicum Boeck, 1866 in Leptomedusae. They are new to the Korean fauna.

Some hydromedusae were collected from Shiwhaho (Kyonsgi-do), Korea Strait and Yeosu, Korea during years 2000-2002. They were identified into Sorsia tubulosa (M. Sars, 1835) of the order Anthomedusae, and Liriope tetraphylla (Chamisso and Eysenhardt, 1821) of the order Trachymedusae respectively. They are new to the Korean fauna. The order Trachymedusae is first recorded in Korea. The long tube-like manubrium and four marginal tentacles are characteristics of S. tubuloso. In L. tetraphylla, the four triangle-shaped gonads and their positions upon half of surface of subumbrella, the seven blind centripetal canals in a quadrant and the long fat manubrium are its distinct characteristics. Resulting from this work, the Korean hydromedusae identified so far consist of 13 species of 11 families in five orders.

Some hydromedusae were collected from Gijang (Busan), Yeounggwang, Munseom (Jejudo Is.) and Shinhangman with Issacc-Kidd Midwater trawl net or by SCUBA diving from 2001 to 2003. They were identified into five species of five families in three orders and are new to the Korean fauna. Bougainvillia ramosa (van Benenden, 1844) of the family Bougainvilliidae in the order Anthomedusae, Phialidium hemishaericum (Linne, 1767) of the family Campanulariidae and Aeguorea macrodactyla of the family Aequoreidae in the order Leptomedusae, Diphyes dispar (Chamisso and Eysenhardt, 1821) of the family Diphydae and Abylopsis tetragona (Otto, 1823) of the family Abylidae in the order Siphonophora. With a result of this work, the Korean hydromedusa fauna consists of 31 species of 18 families in six orders.

Some hyromedusae were collected from Korean waters with Issacc-Kidd Midwater trawl net or by SCUBA diving during the period from May 2001 to Nov. 2005. They were identified into 14 species of 11 families in six orders. Of these, the following six species are new to Korean fauna: Olindias formosa (Goto, 1903) and Proboscidactyla stellata (Forbes, 1846) of the order Limnomedusae; Aglantha digitale ($M\ddot{u}ller$, 1776) and Rhopalonema velatum Gegenbaur, 1854 of the order Trachymedusae; Solmundella bitentaculata (Quoy and Gaimaud, 1833) and Aegina citrea Eschscholtz, 1829 of the order Narcomedusae. The order Narcomedusae and the families Rhopalonematidae and Aeginidae are first recorded in Korean waters. As a result of the present study, the Korean hydromedusae consist of 26 species of 19 families in six orders so far.

Some hydromedusae were collected from the East Sea ($36^{\circ}$30'124'N and $130^{\circ}$06'446'E), Yousu and Youngkwang with horizontal plankton net during from Nov. 2001 to Dec. 2002. They were identified into Proboscidactyla flavicirrata in the order Limnomedusae, and Muggiaea bargmannae and Diphyes bojani in the suborder Calycophorae of the order Siphonophora, respectively. P. flavicirrata is similar with P. stellata in the shape and size, but it is distinguished from later species in that P. stellata has six radial canals, 24 short marginal tentacles and dichotomous branching pattern. The suborder Calycophorae is the first recorded in Korea and posseses only develop a nectosome. In Muggiaea bargmannae, anterior nectophore is simillar with Dimophyes arctica in the shape of nectophore, but it is distinguished from the later in that D. arctica has a undivided mouth plate and deeper hydroecium. In Diphyes bojani, anterior nectophore is simillar with Diphyes dispar in the shape of nectophore, but it is distinguished from the later in which D. dispar has a deeper hydroecium and more prominant dorsal tooth. No posterior nectophores of Muggiaea bargmannae and Diphyes bojani have been observed.
