The Atlantic sea nettle (Chrysaora quinquecirrha) has been paid more and more attention due to its high ecological value and commercial cultivation. This study aimed to evaluate that culture salinity levels affected on the growth and digestive enzyme activities of C. quinquecirrha. Three salinity levels (10‰, 20‰ and 30‰) were used in cultured jellyfish at three stages of scyphula, juvenile and adult medusa. Results suggested that salinity had changed jellyfish physiological performance about growth and digestion. The scyphula was capable of growth and asexual reproduction in three salinity levels. All digestive enzyme activities (pepsin, cellulase, lipase and amylase) of scyphula were significantly higher than those of juvenile and adult (P < 0.01). Appropriate salinity levels had improved growth, survival and digestive enzyme expression in artificial conditions. Salinity 10 was beneficial to the developed body and adult breeding and further desalting, and it could be used as the preservation salinity of scyphula for inland aquarium and home ornamental jellyfish. In salinity 20 jellyfish showed a good state of asexual reproduction, growth performance and vitality, and the activities of four digestive enzymes were the highest except for cellulose and amylase in juvenile and lipase and amylase in adult, which could be used as a suitable salinity for artificial breeding. The content of pepsin was the highest among the four digestive enzymes due to the high protein bait and the high protein demands of C. quinquecirrha. The results revealed the scyphula showed strong adaptability to external salinity changes, and its cell osmotic regulation ability was stronger than the developed body and adult medusa. Further desalination could be used in inland aquariums and home viewing jellyfish. Artificial domestication of freshwater was possible to improve the economic benefits in the future. Scyphula could asexual reproduce to permanently maintain its characteristic of feeding in fresh water and had strobilated in a certain condition to produce medusa which could be fed in fresh water. And this study provided a theoretical basis for the adjustment of bait, the activation and adaptation mechanism of C. quinquecirrha to environment and its commercial cultivation and development. This test detected a certain cellulase in the digestive cavity, however, further study was required to determine whether C. quinquecirrha has a complete cellulase system or a symbiotic relationship with a fungus, bacteria and alga, that could produce exogenous cellulose.
