Jellyfish blooms in China: Dominant species, causes and consequences

open access: yesMarine Pollution Bulletin, 2010
Three jellyfish species, Aurelia aurita, Cyanea nozakii and Nemopilema nomurai, form large blooms in Chinese seas. We report on the distribution and increasing incidence of jellyfish blooms and their consequences in Chinese coastal seas and analyze their relationship to anthropogenically derived changes to the environment in order to determine the ...

Photocatalytic degradation of jellyfish polyps: A sustainable approach to combat jellyfish blooms

Marine Pollution Bulletin
Jellyfish blooms had been frequently occurred around the globe in recent decades, which had been extensively managed due to their serious ecological and socio-economic damage. However, the environment-friendly methods by eliminating polyps to early control the outbreaks of medusae from source had been rarely involved despite exiting some physical and ...
