The ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz 1865 in coastal waters of the Netherlands: an unrecognized invasion? (2006, background): “Mnemiopsis later spread from the Black Sea into the Sea of Azov (Vinogradov et al. 1989), the Sea of Marmara (Shiganova 1993), the Aegean Sea (Kideys and Niermann 1994), the Eastern Mediterranean Sea (Kideys and Niermann 1993) and finally the Caspian Sea (Ivanov et al. 2000).”
Ecological and economic implications of a tropical jellyfish invader in the Gulf of Mexico (2003, background): “Since the arrival of the North American ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi into the Black Sea in the early 1980s (Kideys 1994; Shiganova 1998; Shiganova and Bulgakova 2000) and more recently into the Caspian Sea ( Ivanov et al. 2000 ), research has routinely pointed to the controls that”
Patterns and mechanisms of aquatic invertebrate introductions in the Ponto-Caspian region (2002, background): “By 1988, it had spread across much of the Black Sea, into the Azov Sea, and recently, the Caspian Sea (Vinogradov et al. 1989; Ivanov et al. 2000; Shiganova and Bulgakova 2000).”
Multiple introductions and invasion pathways for the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Eurasia (2011, background): “Inter-basin spread to the Caspian Sea occurred in the late 1990s, reportedly due to the release of ballast water from the Black-Azov basin (Ivanov et al. 2000).”
Alien and invasive freshwater fish species in Iran: Diversity, environmental impacts and management (2015, background): “These include harmful algal blooms (HAB) caused by Cochlodinium polykrikoides (Gymnodiniaceae) in the Persian Gulf in the south (Fatemi et al. 2012), Mnemiopsis leidyi blooms (MLB) in the Caspian Sea (Ivanov et al. 2000), Azolla filiculoides blooms (AFB) in Anzali wetland (Sadeghi et al. 2013) and i”
Invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Caspian Sea: feeding, respiration, reproduction and predatory impact on the zooplankton community. (2006, background): “And, as expected, this species was reported to be in the Caspian Sea by November 1999 (Ivanov et al. 2000).”
Blooms of the invasive ctenophore, Mnemiopsis leidyi, span the Mediterranean Sea in 2009 (2010, background): “Additional introductions have transported the ctenophore to the Caspian Sea (1999) (Ivanov et al., 2000; Shiganova et al., 2001) and the North and Baltic seas (first observations 2006) (Faasse & Bayha, 2006; Javidpour et al., 2006).”
History of aquatic invertebrate invasions in the Caspian Sea (2003, background): “However, during the 20th century (Figure 3B), human-mediated invasions have occurred with increasing frequency and now constitute the dominant mechanism of the Caspian Sea fauna change (Logvinenko 1965; Ivanov et al. 2000).”
Is the comb jelly really to blame for it all? Mnemiopsis leidyi and the ecological concerns about the Caspian Sea (2004, background): “An observation of ‘strange jellies’ by Turkmenian fishermen in 1996 would correspond to the Iranian record, but could not be scientifically confirmed (Ivanov et al. 2000).”
Changes in biodiversity of phytoplankton, zooplankton, fishes and macrobenthos in the Southern Caspian Sea after the invasion of the ctenophore Mnemiopsis Leidyi (2010, background): “From the Black Sea it was transported to the Caspian Sea in the late 1990s, probably in the same way (Ivanov et al. 2000; Roohi 2000).”
Biological control of marine invasive species: cautionary tales and land-based lessons (2003, unknown): “These ctenophore invaders have since spread into the Sea of Azov, the Eastern Mediterranean Sea, and the Caspian Sea (GESAMP 1997; Ivanov et al. 2000; Shiganova and Bulgakova 2000), and have become one of several ‘poster children’ for aquatic invasions, even appearing on the cover of a recent popula”
Disappearing giants: a review of threats to freshwater megafauna (2017, background): “, zooplankton) and also through predation on their eggs and larvae.(136,137) In most cases, invasive species affect freshwater megafauna through competition for resources or through induced profound changes to local food webs; however, hybridization with invasive species is also a significant threat”
First record of Mnemiopsis leidyi A. Agassiz 1865 in the Baltic Sea (2006, background): “It showed an explosive mass development there since 1988 and expanded to the Azov, Marmara, and eastern Mediterranean Seas and in 1999 it was introduced into the Caspian Sea likely with ballast water of oil tankers (Studenikina et al. 1991, Shiganova 1993, Shiganova et al. 2001, Ivanov et al. 2000).”
Development of inland lakes as hubs in an invasion network (2005, background): “For example, the comb jellyfish Mnemiposis leidyi was introduced into the Black Sea in the early 1980s, and subsequently dispersed to the Azov, Marmara, Mediterranean and Caspian Seas, most probably as a consequence of ballast water discharge from a cargo ship ( Ivanov et al . 2000 ).”
