Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “…in Japan are associated with problems of the medusae clogging power plant seawater intake screens (Matsueda, 1969; Yasuda, 1988; Matsumura et al., 2005), displacing fish (Uye & Ueta, 2004), and occurring in unusually extensive aggregations in inland waters (Uye et al., 2003; Uye & Ueta, 2004).”
Unusual population explosion of the giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) in East Asian waters (2006, background): “It has been argued that environmental changes, such as increased eutrophication, habitat modification, overfishing and global warming, may be responsible for the enhancement of jellyfish populations (Arai 2001, Graham 2001, Parsons & Lalli 2002, Uye & Ueta 2004).”
Gelatinous plankton: irregularities rule the world (sometimes) (2008, background): “…of invasions of gelatinous plankters (medusae and/or ctenophores) or simple outbursts of indigenous jellyfish have been documented and/or reviewed (Brodeur et al. 1999, 2002, Mills 2001, Uye & Ueta 2003, 2004, Volovik 2004, Purcell 2005, Xian et al. 2005, Kawahara et al. 2006, Link & Ford 2006).”
Questioning the Rise of Gelatinous Zooplankton in the World's Oceans (2012, unknown): “1999), and off Japan (Uye and Ueta, 2004), and increased densities of salps were reported in the Southern Ocean and northwest Atlantic Ocean (see figures 1 and 2; Atkinson et al.”
Environmental effects on asexual reproduction rates of the scyphozoan Aurelia labiata (2007, background): “Similarly, the most recent reports of unusual occurrences of jellyfish are associated with increasing ocean temperatures in those regions (Uye & Ueta 2004, S. Uye unpubl.).”
Enhancement of jellyfish (Aurelia aurita) populations by extensive aquaculture rafts in a coastal lagoon in Taiwan (2008, background): “Most fishers from the Seto Inland Sea, Japan, believe that Aurelia aurita jellyfish populations have increased since the 1980s, and most dramatically in the past 10 years (Uye and Ueta, 2004).”
Human forcing of the copepod–fish–jellyfish triangular trophic relationship (2011, background): “The poll of local fishermen (Uye & Ueta, 2004) demonstrated that over-wintering A. aurita medusae had never been seen 20 years ago but that they were common more recently in the Inland Sea of Japan, where the annual lowest water temperature warmed by 1.5 C from 1983 to 1999.”
Increasing jellyfish populations: trends in Large Marine Ecosystems (2012, methodology): “Finally, much of the anecdotal information used in the analysis was gleaned from targeted interviews (e.g., Uye & Ueta, 2004; Nagata et al., 2009; Pramod, 2010).”
Combined effects of food supply and temperature on asexual reproduction and somatic growth of polyps of the common jellyfish Aurelia aurita s.l. (2010, background): “The increase of water temperature over the recent decades (i.e. 0.02 to 0.06°C per year, Takahashi & Seki 2004, Uye & Ueta 2004, Lin et al. 2005) is one of the highest in the world.”
Population biomass, feeding, respiration and growth rates, and carbon budget of the scyphomedusa Aurelia aurita in the Inland Sea of Japan (2005, unknown): “…increase of A. aurita population became significant only in the last 20 years, being associated with recent increase of the annual minimum temperature, decline of planktivorous fish catch and an increase of polyp-attachment area by water-front constructions (Uye et al., 2003; Uye and Ueta, 2004).”
Effects of temperature and light intensity on asexual reproduction of the scyphozoan, Aurelia aurita (L.) in Taiwan (2008, background): “Moon jellyfish blooms have been recorded worldwide in temperate (Kang & Park, 2003; Uye et al., 2003; Uye & Ueta, 2004) to tropical regions (Martin, 1999).”
