• Have jellyfish in the Irish Sea benefited from climate change and overfishing? (2011, background): “…concern that the oceans may increasingly be dominated by jellyfish (ctenophores and medusae), because many gelatinous zooplankton species are able to increase in abundance rapidly and adapt to new conditions brought about by ecosystem regime shifts (Bakun & Weeks, 2006; Daskalov et al., 2007).”
• Spatial management of marine resources can enhance the recovery of predators and avoid local depletion of forage fish (2012, background): “Nevertheless, the ecosystems where predator species have to recover may have different structural and functional properties from those where they once were abundant (Bakun and Weeks 2006; Hammer et al. 2010).”
• Recruitment failure of coastal predatory fish in the Baltic Sea coincident with an offshore ecosystem regime shift (2010, background): “…predation on early life stages (Nilsson et al., 2004; Nilsson, 2006) sticklebacks may therefore have the potential to lock the coastal system in an alternative state by depleting the food needed by perch and pike larvae (Bakun and Weeks, 2006; Baumann et al., 2006; Möllmann et al., 2008).”
• Climate controls on marine ecosystems and fish populations (2010, background): “This continuous “resetting” of the Peru system by recurring El Nino episodes before internal nonlinear feedback responses can arise and impose potentially adverse “malignant”-type controls ( Bakun and Weeks, 2006 ), may be one of the keys to the unique capacity of the Peruvian marine ecosystem to co”
• Lessons learned from stock collapse and recovery of North Sea herring: a review (2010, background): “Essentially, herring forms a prey-to-predator (P2P) loop (Bakun and Weeks, 2006).”
• Spatial overlap and trophic interactions between pelagic fish and large jellyfish in the northern California Current (2008, background): “…gelatinous zooplankton are known to be major consumers of early life stages of many fish species, these systems are not likely to revert to being fish-dominated once again unless acted upon by another major perturbation that is less favorable for jellyfish recruitment (e.g., Bakun and Weeks 2006).”
• Jellyfish fisheries in the Americas: origin, state of the art, and perspectives on new fishing grounds (2017, unknown): “…that overfishing of small pelagic fish has resulted in an alternate ecosystem state whereby jellyfish are released from competition and come to dominate, such as the Benguela Current ecosystem (Bakun and Weeks 2006; Lynam et al. 2006; UtnePalm et al. 2010; Flynn et al. 2012; Roux et al. 2013).”
• The jellyfish joyride: causes, consequences and management responses to a more gelatinous future. (2009, background): “This type of feedback mechanism, where the hunted becomes the hunter, is specific to marine environments, as illustrated by Bakun and Weeks [ 22 ]: ‘Imagine trying to maintain stability in an African veldt ecosystem if antelopes and zebras were to voraciously hunt and consume the young of the adult ”
