Jellyfish fisheries in the Americas: origin, state of the art, and perspectives on new fishing grounds (2017, unknown): “Conversely, coastal development is also creating additional habitat for polyps due to a dramatic increase in artificial structures (Duarte et al. 2013).”
Identifying the consequences of ocean sprawl for sedimentary habitats (2017, background): “The intensifying development of urban foreshores, coastlines, and offshore areas is driving a phenomenon commonly referred to as “ocean sprawl” (Duarte et al., 2012).”
Jellyfish populations in the Mediterranean Sea (2012, background): “There are also reports of Rhizostoma pulmo polyps attached to concrete columns in Badalona, Spain (DUARTE et al. , 2012) .”
Beyond the jellyfish joyride and global oscillations: advancing jellyfish research (2013, background): “…blooms working group are inconclusive: in one study they suggest that there is no increase (Condon et al., 2012), in another they imply there is (Duarte et al., 2012) and then in yet another they suggest modern increases in jellyfish numbers reflect the upward phase of a bigger natural…”
