A jellyfish bloom is defined as a substantial increase in a jellyfish population within a short time period; the result of a higher reproduction rate. [2] Since jellyfish naturally have high reproductive rates, high-density blooms can occur as a result of both behavioral and ecological causes.
Craspedacusta sowerbii or peach blossom jellyfish [1] is a species of freshwater hydrozoan jellyfish, or hydromedusa cnidarian. Hydromedusan jellyfish differ from scyphozoan jellyfish because they have a muscular, shelf-like structure called a velum on the ventral surface, attached to the bell margin.
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.

The potential worsening of jellyfish blooms as a result of human activities has driven new research into the influence of dead zones on jelly populations. The primary concern is the potential for dead zones to serve as breeding grounds for jelly populations as a result of the hypoxic conditions driving away competition for resources and common ...
