Bloom years Warning Non-bloom years 2012 Conclusion 1) Former productive and fish-dominated ecosystem in East Asian Marginal Seas may have sifted to jellyfish-dominated one, largely by human-induced perturbation in the region. 2) In the giant jellyfish blooms, which show a remarkable year-to-year difference in the intensity, some biological factors (e.g. podocyst dormancy and excystment) may also be important. 3) The year-to-year bloom intensity of the giant jellyfish can be forecasted by ferry sighting survey in early summer. These forecasts enable fishermen to prepare well in advance for possible jellyfish attacks. 4) Fishermen need modifications of fishing nets to cope with current jellyfish-dominated seas. .

  • Changing Jellyfish Populations: Trends in Large Marine Ecosystems
    CHANGING JELLYFISH POPULATIONS: TRENDS IN LARGE MARINE ECOSYSTEMS by Lucas Brotz B.Sc., The University of British Columbia, 2000 A THESIS SUBMITTED IN PARTIAL FULFILLMENT OF THE REQUIREMENTS FOR THE DEGREE OF MASTER OF SCIENCE in The Faculty of Graduate Studies (Oceanography) THE UNIVERSITY OF BRITISH COLUMBIA (Vancouver) October 2011 © Lucas Brotz, 2011 Abstract Although there are various indications and claims that jellyfish have been increasing at a global scale in recent decades, a rigorous demonstration to this effect has never been presented. As this is mainly due to scarcity of quantitative time series of jellyfish abundance from scientific surveys, an attempt is presented here to complement such data with non- conventional information from other sources. This was accomplished using the analytical framework of fuzzy logic, which allows the combination of information with variable degrees of cardinality, reliability, and temporal and spatial coverage. Data were aggregated and analysed at the scale of Large Marine Ecosystem (LME). Of the 66 LMEs defined thus far, which cover the world’s coastal waters and seas, trends of jellyfish abundance (increasing, decreasing, or stable/variable) were identified (occurring after 1950) for 45, with variable degrees of confidence. Of these 45 LMEs, the overwhelming majority (31 or 69%) showed increasing trends. Recent evidence also suggests that the observed increases in jellyfish populations may be due to the effects of human activities, such as overfishing, global warming, pollution, and coastal development. Changing jellyfish populations were tested for links with anthropogenic impacts at the LME scale, using a variety of indicators and a generalized additive model. Significant correlations were found with several indicators of ecosystem health, as well as marine aquaculture production, suggesting that the observed increases in jellyfish populations are indeed due to human activities and the continued degradation of the marine environment.

  • The Effects of Eutrophication on Jellyfish Populations in New Jersey Waterways
    The Effects of Eutrophication on Jellyfish Populations in New Jersey Waterways How this issue in the Mississippi River delta can be used to predict the effects of eutrophication in New Jersey’s waterways Tag Words: Jellyfish; Eutrophication; New Jersey; CODAR Authors: William Pirl, Emily Pirl with Julie M. Fagan, Ph.D Summary: (WP) What people are doing on land is having a large effect on the coastal ocean waterways. Human beings are introducing excessive amounts of nutrients into these waterways, which is causing biological dead zones that support little productivity. With fewer fish to compete with and hide from, jellyfish are taking over in these areas. This is very true for the New Jersey coastline, specifically in Barnegat Bay. This area is highly enriched from anthropogenic nitrogen sources and there has been an explosion in jellyfish populations in recent years. By coupling research and monitoring programs that have been established in the Gulf of Mexico with CODAR Hf radar it is our goal to allow New Jersey to monitor, study and track these harmful blooms of jellyfish back to the sources of eutrophication in coastal waterways. Video Link: http://youtu.be/S00bAylLd6s ** Listed on You Tube as “Eutrophication in New Jersey” Jellyfish Populations Explode (WP) Jellyfish populations around the world have skyrocketed in recent years. There have been reported increases in jellyfish blooms from Japan to Portugal and most of the areas in between. There is an extensive list of negative consequences that these large increases of jellyfish populations can have on both the environment and its inhabitants. The increase of gelatinous zooplankton directly affects the human population both physically and indirectly.

  • Towards the Science-Based Jellyfish Observing System (JOS)
    Title: Towards the science-based jellyfish observing system Acronym: JOS Summary/Abstract The environmental consequences of jellyfish blooms and their impact on some ecosystem services in several marine areas is recognized as a hot topic in several research programs, but much of historical information on jellyfish is anecdotal and obtained using methodology that was not adapted to study this group of marine organisms. Moreover, even currently there is a lack of standardized methodology to assess quantitative field data of both polyp and medusa abundance. The lack of standardized approaches and methodologies was also recognised as important issues during recent International Workshop ‘Coming to grips with the jellyfish phenomenon in the Southern European and other seas’. Further, during discussions it was also stressed that jellyfish need to be monitored on a regular basis and make observations mandatory. This proposed SCOR Working Group is established with the aim of standardizing and increasing rigour in jellyfish methodology. It will build on interdisciplinary competences of Working Group members what will facilitate the design and development of the proper jellyfish observing system that will encompass modelling and new and emerging technologies. This work will be achieved over a 4 year time period, with a team composed of senior, mid and early career researchers, from both developed and developing countries, what will facilitate capacity building activities. The whole group will focus in particular on field methodology and the establishment of a robust system of observation and forecasting network, towards a reference guide for best practice. 1 Scientific Background and Rationale Research into gelatinous organisms has a long tradition and the period at the end of the 19th and beginning of the 20th century is seen as the first golden age of ‘gelata’ (Haddock 2004), when famous naturalists that studied in particular morphological taxonomy, were fascinated by their beauty and fragility.

  • Jellyfish Blooms and Management Implications in the Northeast Atlantic
    Jellyfish Blooms and Management Implications in the Northeast Atlantic Adam Stuart Kennerley Chrysaora hysoscella in St Ives Harbour, 2016 ©Adam Kennerley Thesis submitted for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy University of East Anglia 2018 This copy of the thesis has been submitted on condition that anyone who consults it is understood to recognise that its copyright rests with the author and that use of any information derived there from must be in accordance with the current UK Copyright Law. In addition, any quotations or extract must include full attribution. ABSTRACT Jellyfish blooms are known to impact adversely a variety of industries, including fishing and tourism. A review of scientific literature indicates that blooms and their impacts may intensify in the Northeast Atlantic. There are also indications that the public perceive that blooms are becoming more common in this region. This research aimed to identify whether blooms and their increases across the Northeast Atlantic are a possibility, and, if so, generate an understanding of the potential economic impacts to fishing and tourism. GIS based maps of jellyfish presence and bloom occurrence were developed using current understanding of physiological thresholds for a variety of jellyfish species. The maps indicated that increases in bloom occurrence in the future is a possibility for several species, particularly in waters to the southwest of the UK. Based on these results, case study locations associated with coastal tourism (St Ives) and fishery activity (Brixham and Newlyn) were selected to assess whether and how blooms could cause impacts to these, applying an ecosystem services approach to measure potential economic and welfare changes.

Despite an international collaborative initiative [National Center for Ecological Analysis and Synthesis (NCEAS) working group on jellyfish blooms] to investigate trends in global jellyfish numbers, interpretations from the data remain ambiguous. Although this is perhaps to be expected given the diversity of potential drivers, the debate has not been helped by a general lack of rigorous data and loose definitions. There is a need for the community to refocus its attention on under- standing the implications of jellyfish blooms and managing them, because regardless of global trends, jellyfish are a problem in some coastal marine ecosystems. Here, we provide recommendations for advancing jellyfish research.
