Abstract

Jellyfish form seasonal swarms that mainly negatively impact fisheries, aquaculture and tourism sectors. In recent years, mass swarming of jellyfish has increased in world oceans and has become a topic of current scientific interest and research. Recent studies link their blooms to a combination of global climate events and several local anthropogenic stressors like overexploitation of finfish, eutrophication, and an increase in marine artificial structures which provide substrate for jellyfish attachment.
