Stable isotopes confirm a foraging dichotomy in juvenile loggerhead sea turtles (2010, background): “As blooms of jellyfish become more frequent, their importance in turtles' dietsmay also rise (Richardson et al., 2009).”
Human Involvement in Food Webs (2010, background): “Food web shifts from fish to jellyfish dominance, following heavy fishing, have also been observed in the Bering, Black, Caspian, and Japan Seas as well as in the Gulf of Mexico (103).”
Jellyfish, Forage Fish, and the World’s Major Fisheries (2014, background): “These enclosed systems may be more susceptible to multiple interacting stressors, such as eutrophication and hypoxia, that may negatively affect fish but are neutral or perhaps favorable to jellyfish (Richardson et al., 2009; Purcell, 2012).”
The key role of zooplankton in ecosystem services: A perspective of interaction between zooplankton and fish recruitment (2021, background): “It happened during blooms of the jellyfish Aurelia spp., which provoked clogging cooling water intakes at coastal power plants, causing mortality of aquaculture species, and interfering with fisheries and tourism (Dong et al., 2010; Purcell, 2012; Richardson et al., 2009).”
Multiple introductions and invasion pathways for the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi in Eurasia (2011, background): “leidyi in the North Atlantic Ocean (Oliveira 2007), while cultural eutrophication and fishing pressure appear to promote gelatinous zooplankton blooms to the detriment of other marine species (Purcell et al. 2007; Richardson et al. 2009).”
Upside-Down but Headed in the Right Direction: Review of the Highly Versatile Cassiopea xamachana System (2018, background): “With the frequency of these events potentially increasing according to studies on climate change (Richardson et al., 2009; Brotz et al., 2012), it necessitates development of methods for accurate taxonomic identification of cryptic species.”
Isolation and characterisation of collagen from the ribbon jellyfish (Chrysaora sp.) (2014, background): “Jellyfish populations have swelled in recent years as a result of overfishing, eutrophication, climate change and habitat modifications (Purcell et al., 2007; Richardson et al., 2009).”
Jellyfish populations in the Mediterranean Sea (2012, background): “In addition to introduced species, there have been suggestions that increases in jel-lyfish populations may be due to anthropogenic impacts on the marine environment (MILLS, 1995; 2001; PURCELL et al. , 2007; PAULy et al. , 2009; RIChARDSON et al. , 2009) .”
The trophodynamics of marine top predators: Current knowledge, recent advances and challenges (2015, background): “Anthropogenic eutrophication in coastal regions is another driver, with associated enhanced Nitrogen:Phosphate ratios favouring the development of ciliates over diatoms and an overall reduction in plankton community size structure (Nagai, 2003; Purcell, 2012; Richardson et al., 2009; Uye, 2011).”
Impacts of hypoxia on the structure and processes in pelagic communities (zooplankton, macro-invertebrates and fish) (2009, background): “, 2009) may be a consequence of their better adaptation to disturbed environmental conditions such as eutrophication, habitat modification or reduced oxygen (Richardson et al., 2009).”
Non-infectious gill disorders of marine salmonid fish (2011, background): “Coastal eutrophication encourages the production of phyto-plankton and ultimately leads to phyto and zooplankton blooms (Glibert et al. 2002; Anderson et al. 2008; Richardson et al. 2009).”
Jellyfish fisheries in the Americas: origin, state of the art, and perspectives on new fishing grounds (2017, positive): “Nonetheless, it is conceivable that jellyfish could be used in a variety of future applications, a strategy that has been proposed to deal with the increasing problems associated with jellyfish blooms (e.g., Purcell et al. 2007; Richardson et al. 2009; Purcell 2012).”
Overfishing of top predators eroded the resilience of the Black Sea system regardless of the climate and anthropogenic conditions (2011, background): “The most likely explanation is that phytoplankton comes in this model as a proxy for climate conditions or eutrophication intensity and does not represent a true tropic interaction (Richardson et al., 2009).”
