Recently some scientists are including the very dissimilar salps under the word-umbrella "jellyfish", but the salps, which are chordate-herbivores in the subphylum Tunicata, and have their own closer-relatives including doliolids, pyrosomes, and appendicularians (larvaceans), are really not jellyfish in any traditional sense of the word.

PubMed Central The spawning commences at late evening or at 1:00 or 2:00a.m. lobate ctenophores are covered by specialized microscopic sticky Weight-specific egg production was greater in summer due to higher temperature, salinity and prey density than in spring. Others are members of gelatinous zooplankton such as Beroe ctenophores and various Scyphozoa (jellyfish). Following the completion of the genome sequencing and gene prediction of Mnemiopsis leidyi, a lobate ctenophore that is native to the coastal waters of the western Atlantic Ocean, we developed and implemented the Mnemiopsis Genome Project Portal (MGP Portal), a comprehensive Web-based data portal for navigating the genome sequence and gene annotations.
