Microplastics are a ubiquitous pollutant in our seas today and known to have detrimental effects on variety of organisms. Over the past decade numerous studies documented microplastic ingestion by marine species with more recent investigations focussing secondary impacts ecosystem processes. However, few so far examined mesopelagic fish which one most abundant pelagic groups oceans through their vertical migrations contribute significantly rapid transport carbon nutrients deep sea....
Leatherback turtles (Dermochelys coriacea) are obligate predators of gelatinous zooplankton. However, the spatial relationship between predator and prey remains poorly understood beyond sporadic localized reports. To examine how jellyfish (Phylum Cnidaria: Orders Semaeostomeae Rhizostomeae) might drive broad-scale distribution this wide ranging species, we employed aerial surveys to map throughout a temperate coastal shelf area bordering northeast Atlantic. Previously unknown, consistent...
An oceanic cruise (October 2007) revealed the widespread occurrence of Pelagia noctiluca in NE Atlantic just prior to a major fish kill induced by P. Irish coastal waters.
Over-fishing may lead to a decrease in fish abundance and proliferation of jellyfish. Active movements prey search might be thought provide competitive advantage for fish, but here we use data-loggers show that the frequently occurring coastal jellyfish ( Rhizostoma octopus ) does not simply passively drift encounter prey. Jellyfish (327 days data from 25 with depth collected every 1 min) showed very dynamic vertical movements, their integrated movement averaging 619.2 m d −1 , more than 60...
The impacts of microplastics on some individual organisms have been well studied but what is less clear wider ecosystem processes. Using salps as model organisms, we the effect microplastic ingestion downward flux high-density particulate organic matter in form salp faecal pellets. While to date most studies used virgin at unrealistic environmental concentrations here exposed Salpa fusiformis fractured and UV polyethylene polystyrene possessing a biofilm.

Over the last 50 years there has been an increased frequency and severity of negative impacts affecting marine fishery aquaculture sectors, which claimed significant economic losses due to interference stinging gelatinous organisms with daily operational activities. Nevertheless, original scientific information on jellyfish-related incidents, their consequences, potential preventative mitigation countermeasures is limited scattered across gray literature, governmental technical reports,...
Abstract Climate change and overfishing may lead to ecosystem instability benefit nonexploited organisms such as jellyfish. In the Irish Sea, an increase in jellyfish abundance was evident ( r 2 =0.29, P =0.03) a 16‐year time‐series (1994–2009) collected during juvenile fish surveys. Jellyfish correlated positively with sea surface temperature (SST) over preceding 18 months =0.65, p ACF <0.001) copepod biomass previous year =0.56, negatively spring (February–May) precipitation =−0.57,...

Background Over recent decades jellyfish have caused fish kill events and recurrent gill problems in marine-farmed salmonids. Common (Aurelia spp.) are among the most cosmopolitan species oceans, with populations increasing many coastal areas. The negative interaction between aquaculture remains a poorly studied area of science. Thus, mortality event Ireland, involving Aurelia aurita, spurred an investigation into effects this on salmon. Methodology/Principal Findings To address vivo impact...

Reports of nuisance jellyfish blooms have increased worldwide during the last half-century, but possible causes remain unclear. A persistent difficulty lies in identifying whether occur owing to local or regional processes. This issue can be resolved, part, by establishing geographical scales connectivity among locations, which may addressed using genetic analyses and oceanographic modelling. We used landscape genetics Lagrangian modelling dispersal explore patterns scyphozoan Rhizostoma...
