Resumen

Con el fin de estudiar la evolución ontogenética a un nivel celular y bioquímico de los cnidocistos de la potencia lítica, y las características cito- y neurotóxicas de Cyanea capillata (L.), se ha comparado un ejemplar de 55 cm de diámetro de umbrela de la especie con una muestra de varios ejemplares de C. capillata (promedio 14 cm de diámetro). Tanto los nematocistos del tipo A isorhiza de los tentáculos marginales como en los mesentéricos y los nematocistos del tipo O isorhizas de tentáculos orales fueron mayores en el ejemplar de C. capillata de 55 cm. Además, el número de nematocistos por zona de agregación fue mayor en el ejemplar de 55 cm. En cuanto a la actividad tóxica de los cnidocistos, ésta fue superior tanto a nivel de célula como de la actividad de la toxina (veneno) en los tentáculos marginales del ejemplar de 55 cm frente a los ejemplares más pequeños de la especie. También se observó una actividad hemolítica de la toxina (veneno) dos veces superior en los cnidocistos de los tentáculos marginales del ejemplar grande, 55 cm de C. capillata frente a los ejemplares pequeños.
