Digestion of pelagic Ctenophora and Cnidaria by fish (2003, background): “), spiny dogfish (Squalus acanthias), chum salmon (Oncorhynchus keta), sablefish (Anoplopoma fimbria), and representatives of the Gadidae, Scorpaenidae, and Scombridae (Arai 1988; Brodeur and Pearcy 1992; Purcell and Arai 2001).”
Effects of climate on relative predation by scyphomedusae and ctenophores on copepods in Chesapeake Bay during 1987‐2000 (2005, background): “…species in Chesapeake Bay, the scyphomedusan Chrysaora quinquecirrha and the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi, are voracious consumers of zooplankton and ichthyoplankton, they could be detrimental to fish populations (e.g., Cowan and Houde 1993; Purcell et al. 1994a,b; Purcell and Arai 2001).”
Bridging the gap between marine biogeochemical and fisheries sciences; configuring the zooplankton link (2014, background): “…Båmstedt and Karlson, 1998; Tönnesson and Tiselius, 2005; Bonnet et al., 2010), jellyfish preying on zooplankton and fish (Mackie et al., 1987; Purcell and Arai, 2001), etc. Cannibalism within a species has been noted to occur in both micro- and mesozooplankton, even in the presence of…”
Predation on zooplankton by large jellyfish, Aurelia labiata, Cyanea capillata and Aequorea aequorea, in Prince William Sound, Alaska (2003, background): “However, feeding rates have been reported previously only on fish larvae (herring) in British Columbia (Purcell 1989, 1990, Purcell & Grover 1990, Purcell & Arai 2001).”
Increases in jellyfish biomass in the Bering Sea: implications for the ecosystem (2002, background): “…jellyfishes can apparently outcompete fish populations because many jellyfishes have higher consumption rates, respond more rapidly to pulses of food than their competitors, and have the potential to prey upon the early life stages of many fishes (Purcell et al. 1999, Purcell & Arai 2001).”
Extension of methods for jellyfish and ctenophore trophic ecology to large-scale research (2008, background): “…in particular, often go unnoticed; however, they are ubiquitous, can occur in high densities and biomass in coastal waters, are important predators (e.g., Pagès et al., 1996a; Purcell & Arai, 2001; Costello & Colin, 2002; Hansson et al., 2005; Hosia & Båmstedt, 2007), and need further study.”
Climate effects on formation of jellyfish and ctenophore blooms: a review (2005, background): “Jellyfish and ctenophores are important consumers of ichthyoplankton and zooplankton, and therefore are both predators and potential competitors of fish (reviewed by Purcell & Arai, 2001).”
Evidence for impacts by jellyfish on North Sea herring recruitment (2005, background): “Aurelia aurita has had devastating impacts on Atlantic herring larvae (Clupea harengus) in a Baltic Sea fjord (Möller 1984), and Aequorea victoria is a major cause of mortality of Pacific herring larvae (C. pallasi) in Kulleet Bay, British Columbia (Purcell & Grover 1990).”
Clearance rates of jellyfish and their potential predation impact on zooplankton and fish larvae in a neritic ecosystem (Limfjorden, Denmark) (2005, background): “Purcell & Arai (2001) pointed out that this is difficult to prove because prey competition requires a substantial overlap in potential diet and a shortage of food and that prey populations are limited by predation.”
Ocean Acidification and Its Potential Effects on Marine Ecosystems (2008, background): “Jellyfish are both predators and potential competitors of fish and may substantially affect pelagic and coastal ecosystems (Purcell & Arai 2001; Purcell 2005).”
Jellyfish abundance and climatic variation: contrasting responses in oceanographically distinct regions of the North Sea, and possible implications for fisheries (2005, background): “Even small C. capillata may consume fish eggs and larvae (Purcell & Arai, 2001), and these jellyfish may prey on those plaice eggs and larvae that are spawned toward the end of the season in the area WND and also on those that are swept in the circulation currents from their spawning grounds…”
Biological Invasions by Marine Jellyfish (2008, background): “Gelatinous zooplankton blooms exert tremendous pressure on marine planktonic food webs, including in regions of important commercial fisheries (Purcell 1985, 1989; Purcell and Arai 2001; Purcell et al. 2001).”
Direct and indirect trophic interactions of Aurelia sp. (Scyphozoa) in a stratified marine environment (Mljet Lakes, Adriatic Sea) (2007, background): “…and a strong decline of the pelagic fishery have been attributed to predation and competition by pelagic coelenterates (Hay et al. 1990; Niermann 2004), although the significance of such interactions to either fish or jellyfish populations is still poorly understood (Purcell and Arai 2001).”
Reproduction and life history strategies of the common jellyfish, Aurelia aurita, in relation to its ambient environment (2001, background): “1993). Predators such as A. aurita may also affect fi sh standing stocks, either directly by predation on fish larvae, or indirectly by competing with fish larvae for available food resources ( Purcell & Arai, 2001 ).”
Jellyfish fisheries in the Americas: origin, state of the art, and perspectives on new fishing grounds (2017, neutral): “…species of juvenile fishes have been documented to associate with jellyfish, presumably using the medusae as food and/or refugia from predators (e.g., Jones 1960; Arai 1988; Kingsford 1993; Brodeur 1998; Purcell and Arai 2001; López-Martı́nez and Rodrı́guez-Romero 2008; Mianzan et al. 2014).”
