Coral reefs are acknowledged for the beauty of their organisms, which has made this natural ecosystem one of the most appreciated on Earth. It is believed to be the richest in terms of species diversity and species interactions, at least in theory since there is yet much documentation work to be done. Indeed, the paradox is that of the estimated one million species living in this ecosystem globally, only 10% of them have been described. To date, most of the coral reef studies have focused on the most peculiar and fabulous groups, such as corals and fishes, although most of the diversity is usually represented by small, colored, camouflaged, hidden, and crypto organisms from all kingdoms of life. The mystery of their diversity, ecology, biology, and importance in the functioning of coral reefs motivate many scientists to dive, all around the world, in order to discover, name, and appreciate such a fascinating, but unfortunately overlooked, component of nature. This book is a very nice illustration of the charm of the coral-associated fauna.

This Special Issue of Marine Drugs gathers recent investigations on the proteomes, metabolomes, transcriptomes, and the associated microbiomes of marine jellyfish and polyps, including bioactivity studies of their compounds and more generally, on their biotechnological potential, witnessing the increasingly recognized importance of Cnidaria as a largely untapped Blue Growth resource for new drug discovery. These researches evoke the outstanding ecological importance of cnidarians in marine ecosystems worldwide, calling for a global monitoring and conservation of marine biodiversity, so that the biotechnological exploitation of marine living resources will be carried out to conserve and sustainably use the natural capital of the oceans.

Technology: general issues --- cnidarian --- sea anemone --- proteins --- toxins --- two-dimensional gel electrophoresis --- MALDI-TOF/TOF --- shotgun proteomic --- Zoanthidea --- holo-transcriptome --- cnidarian transcriptome --- marine enzyme --- marine biocatalyst --- marine biotechnology --- pharmaceutical biotechnology --- anthozoa --- microbial communities --- cnidarian holobiont --- zooxanthellae --- bleaching --- antibacterial activity --- jellyfish --- Aurelia coerulea --- mucus --- proteomics --- metabolomics --- cnidarians --- gelatinous zooplankton --- bioprospecting --- novel foods --- transcriptomics --- bio-prospecting --- computational biology --- neurotoxins --- NMR spectroscopy --- biochemical characterization --- jellyfish blooms --- Cnidaria --- Ctenophora --- biodiversity --- bioactive compounds --- blue biotechnology --- invertebrate proteins --- biological activity --- antioxidants --- collagen --- pepsin hydrolysis --- collagenase hydrolysis --- oxidative stress --- keratinocytes --- cytotoxicity --- Easter Island --- Actinobacteria --- anthraquinones --- symbionts --- marine invertebrates --- spectroscopy --- chromatography --- Pelagia noctiluca --- Mediterranean jellyfish --- chemical characterization --- aquafeed and food supplements --- sustainable fishing
