Aquatic Conservation: Marine and Freshwater Ecosystems, Volume 35, Issue 6, June 2025.ABSTRACT Microplastics (MPs) represent the main vector of pollution in the marine environment. Originating from the slow degradation process of plastics into smaller particles, MPs vary in size between 1 and 5 mm. Their ability to adsorb and transport contaminants, disperse invasive organisms and be accidentally ingested by marine animals makes these ...

Distinct gelatinous zooplankton communities across a dynamic shelf sea
Limnology and Oceanography, Volume 64, Issue 4, Page 1802-1818, July 2019., 2019 Abstract Understanding how gelatinous zooplankton communities are structured by local hydrography and physical forcing has important implications for fisheries and higher trophic predators. Although a large body of research has described how fronts, hydrographic boundaries, and different water masses (e.g., mixed vs. stratified) influence phytoplankton

Lifeguard assistance at Spanish Mediterranean beaches: Jellyfish prevail and proposals for improving risk management [PDF]
, 2016 Although beaches can be hazardous environments, few studies have identified injuries in broad coastal areas. We performed a retrospective descriptive study of injuries and other services provided by lifeguards during 2012 along the Spanish Mediterranean ...

Problematic of the Pelagia noctiluca outbreaks in the Bay of Calvi (Corsica) [PDF]
, 2010 peer reviewedThe interannual variations of the Schyphozoan jellyfish Pelagia noctiluca is estimated by weekly measurements in the Bay of Calvi (Corsica) from 2003. The mean annual abundance reaches a dramatic maximum in 2006.

Identifying potentially harmful jellyfish blooms using shoreline surveys
Aquaculture Environment Interactions, 2013 Interactions between jellyfish and aquaculture operations are frequent around the world, with scyphozoan (in particular Pelagia noctiluca) and hydrozoan species documented as causative agents in major fish kills.

Scyphomedusae and Ctenophora of the Eastern Adriatic: Historical Overview and New Data
Diversity, 2021 One of the obstacles to detecting regional trends in jellyfish populations is the lack of a defined baseline. In the Adriatic Sea, the jellyfish fauna (Scyphozoa and Ctenophora) is poorly studied compared to other taxa. Therefore, our goal was to collect

Ephyrae and metaephyrae of Pelagia noctiluca: stage determination, morphometry and shrinkage
Journal of Plankton Research, 2021 Abstract Understanding processes occurring in the different life stages of jellyfish is key to advance knowledge on their trophic interactions and population dynamics. We describe four developmental stages of Pelagia noctiluca ephyrae and metaephyrae based on the progress of feeding structures and morphometric measurements on the central
