Macroscale abundance patterns of hydromedusae in the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (27º-56º S) [PDF]
Gelatinous organisms are crucial components of marine ecosystems and some species imply social and economic consequences. However, certain geographic areas, such as the temperate Southwestern Atlantic (SWA, 27 - 56 S), remain understudied in terms of ...

Is global ocean sprawl a cause of jellyfish blooms? [PDF]
Jellyfish (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) blooms appear to be increasing in both intensity and frequency in many coastal areas worldwide, due to multiple hypothesized anthropogenic stressors.

Omnivory by the Small Cosmopolitan Hydromedusa Aglaura Hemistoma [PDF]
We investigated the feeding of the small hydromedusa, Aglaura hemistoma (bell diameter \u3c 4 mm), to determine if it occupies a trophic position similar to that of large medusae.

Cassiopea andromeda (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) in the subtropical eastern Atlantic
Abstract This study provides the first records of the upside-down jellyfish Cassiopea andromeda (Forskål, 1775) in the eastern Atlantic supported by molecular analysis. Specimens were observed, recorded, and sampled in an inland aquaculture facility in September 2023 in Tenerife Island (Canary Islands).

Environmental control of asexual reproduction and somatic growth of Aurelia spp. (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) polyps from the Adriatic Sea [PDF]
Polyps of two moon jellyfish species, Aurelia coerulea and A. relicta, from two Adriatic Sea coastal habitats were incubated under multiple combinations of temperature (14, 21°C), salinity (24, 37 ppt) and food regime (9.3, 18.6, 27.9 μg C ind−1 week−1 ...

Jellyfish blooms in the Mediterranean [PDF]
The temporal and spatial distributions of coastal aggregations of the scyphomedusa Pelagia noctiluca around the Maltese Islands during the period 1980 to 1986 were investigated by means of sighting reports from volunteers as well as by periodic ...

Trophic ecology of carnivorous zooplankton in the Benguela [PDF]
Carnivorous zooplankton in the Benguela system have tended to be ignored by all but early taxonomists and a handful of recent researchers. An attempt is made here to address the importance of carnivores in this system but, because the database is poor ...

Preliminary investigation of light regime and the population dynamics of a deep sea scyphozoan, Periphylla periphylla, in a Northern Norwegian fjord [PDF]
Jellyfish blooms have been reported worldwide and have ecological and economical consequences. Causes of mass abundances have suggested and include eutrophication, climate change and overfishing.
