Jellyfish Blooms: New Problems and Solutions

Jellyfish Blooms: New Problems and Solutions

Jennifer E. Purcell, Dror L. Angel (Editors)
This  is the third volume in this series and provides an identification key for the ephyrae of 18 common scyphozoan species, documents the Mediterranean-wide bloom of the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, and addresses the direct effects of ocean acidification on jellyfish for the first time. The influence of climate change on jellyfish blooms is covered in several papers. New methods are presented for large-scale estimation of scyphomedusan occurrence with the Continuous Plankton Recorder and trophic effects as estimated by respiration. Moreover, novel approaches are described for study of medusan toxicity.
This is a key reference for students and professional marine biologists, oceanographers, and fishery scientists and managers
