Jellyfish (Cnidaria, Scyphozoa) blooms appear to be increasing in both intensity and
frequency in many coastal areas worldwide, due to multiple hypothesized anthropogenic …

The study of jellyfish blooms has gained attention in the recent decades because of the
importance of forecasting and anticipating them and avoiding their interference with human …

Molecular analyses have led to an increased knowledge of the number and distribution of
morphologically cryptic species in the world's oceans and, concomitantly, to the identification …

Knowledge of jellyfish populations in the Mediterranean Sea is rather extensive, due to a
combination of long-term datasets and interest relating to impacts on human activities. The …

Four meroplanktonic scyphomedusae, Aurelia aurita, Chrysaora hysoscella, Cotylorhiza
tuberculata and Rhizostoma pulmo, and the holoplanktonic, non-resident Pelagia noctiluca …

Abstract Background The moon jellyfish Aurelia aurita is a widespread scyphozoan species
that forms large seasonal blooms. Here we provide the first comprehensive view of the entire …

The productive eastern boundary current (EBC) systems provide significant sources of
global marine protein and have been subject to intense research over the last 50 years. Yet …

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 …

Blooms of jellyfishes are perceived to have increased during the last decades causing
interference with human activities of both recreational and professional type. Those blooms …
