Large population fluctuations of jellyfish occur over a variety of temporal scales, from weekly
to seasonal, inter-annual and even decadal, with some regions of the world reported to be …

Although eutrophication is a widespread problem in marine waters, its effects are often
difficult to separate from normal fluctuations of pelagic coelenterate populations and from …

Abstract The scyphozoan Aurelia aurita (Linnaeus) is a cosmopolitan species, having been
reported from a variety of coastal and shelf sea environments around the world. It has been …

Science has rapidly expanded its frontiers with new technologies in the 20th Century.
Oceanography now is studied routinely by satellite. Predictive models are on global scales …

Pelagic gelatinous invertebrates in many diverse phyla aggregate, bloom, or swarm.
Although typically portrayed as annoying to humans, such accumulations probably are …

Mitochondrial and nuclear DNA sequence data indicate considerable phylogeographic
structure and at least five sibling species of Aurelia in the Pacific Ocean. At least a sixth …

We investigated the seasonal occurrence, wet: dry: carbon: nitrogen weight ratios,
population biomass, gastric pouch contents, and rates of feeding, growth and respiration of …

Knowledge of the reproductive strategy is a key prerequisite to predict population dynamics
and potential invasiveness of both native and non-indigenous outbreak-forming species. In …

Recent studies have correlated fluctuations in jellyfish abundances with climatic changes,
leading to speculation that the warming trend in the North Sea will affect the strobilation …

Abstract 142 scientific publications have been reviewed on the characteristics of the
scyphozoans with respect to their ability to develop blooms and the most significant …
