The Invasive Species Challenge in Estuarine and Coastal Environments: Marrying Management and Science (2008, background): “…sallei Eradication A$2.2M Bax et al. 2002 black striped mussel Phyllorhiza punctata Scyphomedusa Potential loss in shrimp landings US$10M (2000) Graham et al. 2003 Terebrasabella heterouncinata Reduced cultured abalone product quality Bankruptcy Culver and Kuris 2000 Sabellid…”
A review and synthesis on the systematics and evolution of jellyfish blooms: advantageous aggregations and adaptive assemblages (2008, background): “Although distributed circumglobally between about 50 N and 40 S, it is predominantly a tropical and subtropical Indo-Pacific taxon (Vanhöffen, 1888; Kramp, 1970).”
Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “They further interfere with fisheries by clogging fishing nets (e.g. Shimomura, 1959; Yasuda, 1988; Graham et al., 2003).”
Invasive Species Defined in a Policy Context: Recommendations from the Federal Invasive Species Advisory Committee (2008, background): “This submersed aquatic plant can form dense mats at the water surface, limiting access, recreation, and damaging aesthetics, and as a result, has decreased the values of shoreline properties in New Hampshire, the Midwest, and elsewhere (Halstead et al. 2003).”
Thermal niche, large‐scale movements and implications of climate change for a critically endangered marine vertebrate (2006, methodology): “For example, acoustic and aerial surveys are now being used to assess jellyfish abundance over broad spatial and temporal scales (e.g. Brierley et al., 2001; Graham et al., 2003) and reexamination of CPR samples may reveal the potential of this extensive dataset for mapping spatio-temporal abundance”
Beyond the jellyfish joyride and global oscillations: advancing jellyfish research (2013, background): “Graham et al. (Graham et al., 2003) estimated that the invasive jellyfish Phyllorhiza punctata cost $US10M in losses to the shrimp fishery in the Gulf of Mexico by reducing shrimp harvest and fouling gear.”
Extension of methods for jellyfish and ctenophore trophic ecology to large-scale research (2008, methodology): “…over broad regions, such as in the Black, Azov, and Caspian seas (e.g., Shiganova et al., 2003), the Mediterranean Sea (Bernard et al., 1988; Goy et al., 1989), Gulf of Mexico (Graham et al., 2003a, b), the Seto Inland Sea of Japan (Uye et al., 2003), and the East Asian Marginal Seas (Uye, 2008).”
The broad-scale distribution of five jellyfish species across a temperate coastal environment (2007, methodology): “Moving briefly to the methods themselves, accurately quantifying jellyfish distribution is notoriously difficult and rife with problems unique to their gelatinous composition, large size and sometimes localised concentrations (Hamner et al., 1975; Graham et al., 2003).”
Unusual population explosion of the giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) in East Asian waters (2006, background): “There have been some earlier reports about invasions by rhizostome species; Rhopilema nomadica, native to the Indo-Pacific region, has invaded the Mediterranean Sea (Galil et al. 1990, Lotan et al. 1992, Kideys & Gücü 1995, Silfen et al. 2003), and Phyllorhiza punctata, native to Australian waters, ”
Biological Invasions by Marine Jellyfish (2008, background): “punctata to the shrimp industry – for Mississippi alone, these have been estimated to be US$ 10 million for 2000 ( Graham et al. 2003, and references therein).”
Life cycle of the jellyfish Rhizostoma pulmo (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) and its distribution, seasonality and inter-annual variability along the Catalan coast and the Mar Menor (Spain, NW Mediterranean) (2011, background): “Moreover, R. pulmo has shown to be the most abundant coastal species in recent years, showing important inter-annual fluctuations in the population densities as typical for most scyphozoans blooms presently observed (Mills 2001; Graham et al. 2003; Lilley et al. 2009).”
