We investigated relationships among three metrics of sea-ice cover in eight regions of the
eastern Bering Sea and the abundance of Calanus copepods, jellyfish medusae, and year …

Gelatinous zooplankton (GZ), here understood as pelagic cnidarians and ctenophores, are
an important component of marine ecosystems. Their diversity and distribution reflect local …

As jellyfish interactions with humans increase in coastal waters, there is an urgent need to
provide science-based management strategies to mitigate the negative socioeconomic …

Globally, there have been few long-term (> 30 years), shelf-wide surveys of jellyfish that
have allowed for the examination of how populations might respond to changing climatic …

Large jellyfish are important consumers of plankton, fish eggs and fish larvae in heavily
fished ecosystems worldwide; yet they are seldom included in fisheries production models …

Abundance, biomass, size and distribution of macro-jellyfish were measured in the Northern
Gulf of Alaska (NGA). Nearly 1000 kg dispersed among~ 13 800 jellyfish were collected …

Abstract Within the Eastern Bering Sea, the jellyfish Chrysaora melanaster has fluctuated
widely over recent decades. We examined the role of C. melanaster as an ecosystem …

Despite jellyfish's ecological and socioeconomic impacts, they are still an understudied
component of marine ecosystems. Even with its conspicuous size, reaching~ 1 m in bell …

Abstract Offshore Oil and Gas (O&G) infrastructure affords structurally complex hard
substrata in otherwise featurless areas of the seafloor. Opportunistically collected industrial …

Mucus secretion provides an interface with unique and multifunctional properties between
the epithelial cells of many aquatic organisms and their surrounding environment. Indeed …
