Developing an experimental challenge model for gill disease caused by gelatinous zooplankton [PDF]
Harmful zooplankton, such as jellyfish or cnidarians, play an important role in gill disease development, but there is a lack of scientific and technical understanding of the interactions between gelatinous zooplankton and fish gills that can only be ...

Biodiversity and frequency of occurrence of jellyfish (cnidaria) in Al Hoceima Bay (North coast of Morocco, Alboran Sea) [PDF]
Jellyfish are the best-known group of gelatinous zooplankton; they refer to organisms from the phylum Cnidaria, including animals with cnidocytes (stinging cells).

This data set contains information about near-surface (about 10 m depth) gelatinous zooplankton assemblages and their seasonal changes from two neighbouring Northwestern Icelandic fjords, which were studied from April to September 2008. At five stations,

Resource requirements of the Pacific leatherback turtle population. [PDF]
The Pacific population of leatherback sea turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) has drastically declined in the last 25 years. This decline has been linked to incidental capture by fisheries, egg and meat harvesting, and recently, to climate variability and ...

Automated Gelatinous Zooplankton Acquisition and Recognition
Much is still unknown about marine plankton abundance and dynamics in the open and interior ocean. Especially challenging is the knowledge of gelatinous zooplankton distribution, since it has a very fragile structure and cannot be directly sampled using traditional net based techniques.

Towards methodological approaches to implement the zooplankton component in “end to end” food-web models [PDF]
The modelling of marine zooplankton has made great progress over the two last decades covering a large range of representations from detailed individual processes to functional groups. A new challenge is to dynamically represent zooplankton within marine

Size‐based changes in trophic ecology and nutritional quality of moon jellyfish (Aurelia labiata)
Despite their seemingly watery constitution, jellyfish are eaten by a diverse range of predators. However, while the role of jellyfish in marine food webs is gaining attention, the nutritional value of these gelatinous organisms and how it varies remain ...

Reef manta rays forage on tidally driven, high density zooplankton patches in Hanifaru Bay, Maldives [PDF]
Manta rays forage for zooplankton in tropical and subtropical marine environments, which are generally nutrient-poor. Feeding often occurs at predictable locations where these large, mobile cartilaginous fishes congregate to exploit ephemeral ...

Zooplankton Community Response to Seasonal Hypoxia: A Test of Three Hypotheses
Several hypotheses of how zooplankton communities respond to coastal hypoxia have been put forward in the literature over the past few decades. We explored three of those that are focused on how zooplankton composition or biomass is affected by seasonal ...

Collection and Culture Techniques for Gelatinous Zooplankton
Gelatinous zooplankton are the least understood of all planktonic animal groups. This is partly due to their fragility, which typically precludes the capture of intact specimens with nets or trawls. Specialized tools and techniques have been developed that allow researchers and aquarists to collect intact gelatinous animals at sea and to maintain many ...
