Studies suggest that a high abundance of gas present in a galaxy can inhibit the formation of a stellar bar and/or prevent its growth. On the other hand, bars are efficient in redistributing matter and angular momentum between different components, namely, stars, gas and dark matter. Their presence can fuel gas inwards resulting in an increase of gas density in the center that can trigger an episode of star formation. Other mechanism that redistribute gas inside galaxies is the interaction of the interstellar mater of the galaxies with the hot gas in galaxy clusters through ram pressure. An extreme case of this mechanism is seen in jellyfish galaxies, where the interaction produces extreme gas loss. In this work I will present preliminary results on the study of the gas distribution and star formation history of barred jellyfish galaxies where we see the combined effects of these two processes.
