Thriving jellyfish populations have been found to take over as top predators in areas where fin fish have been over-exploited. [8] Increased abundance of jellyfish negatively impacts fish populations in the same region because jellyfish feed on fish eggs and larvae. [13] Jellyfish and larval fish can also share common dietary preferences.
This in turn kills fish and other animals, but not jellyfish, [94] allowing them to bloom. [95] [96] Jellyfish populations may be expanding globally as a result of land runoff and overfishing of their natural predators. [97] [98] Jellyfish are well placed to benefit from disturbance of marine ecosystems. They reproduce rapidly; they prey upon ...
Aurelia aurita (also called the common jellyfish, moon jellyfish, moon jelly or saucer jelly) is a species of the family Ulmaridae. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] All species in the genus are very similar, and it is difficult to identify Aurelia medusae without genetic sampling; [ 3 ] most of what follows applies equally to all species of the genus.
Jellyfish populations in the Mediterranean Sea, including those in the genus Cotylorhiza, may have hazardous effects on people in the area. [10] Species in this area are becoming progressively more venomous as more invasive predators enter the waters they inhabit, therefore hospitalizations and serious injury has increased in children swimming ...
