The status of jellyfish-related standards in China

This paper mainly discussed the standards on jellyfish in China in the early 21st century. In the current standards of jellyfish, the ratio of industry standards and local standards is 32% and 68% respectively. Most coastal provinces in China published different standards on jellyfish. As for the contents of standards about jellyfish, half of them are related to jellyfish food safety, and the others are relevant to jellyfish culture, jellyfish seedling breeding and enhancement. So far, there are no standards about jellyfish germplasm and jellyfish seedling. There are also some unreasonable contents about methods and procedures in current standards related to jellyfish. Compared with other traditional marine animals, the standards on jellyfish are incomprehensive and laggard, which may be adverse for the jellyfish industry.
