Breeding places, population dynamics, and distribution of the giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai (Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae) in the Yellow Sea and the East China Sea

Real-time eutrophication status evaluation of coastal waters using support vector machine with grid search algorithm

“…The study area (25°56′30″S, 120°49′40″E to 39°24′49″S, 126°5 1′0.4″E) is a combination of two major marginal seas in the northwest Pacific Ocean, the Yellow Sea (YS) and the East China Sea (ECS), that are topographically connected, but divided subjectively by a line from the mouth of the Yangtze River to the Cheju Island (Sun et al, 2015;Ning et al, 2011;Qu et al, 2015). This region is mainly influenced by a series of circulation patterns, including the ECS Coastal Current and the YS Coastal Current that run along the mainland Chinese coast, the YS Cold Water Mass, the YS Warm Current, the Taiwan Warm Current, the Kuroshio Current and the Changjiang Diluted Water (Zhou et al, 2008;Yuan et al, 2008;Pang et al, 2016).…”

Complete mitochondrial genome of the jellyfish, Nemopilema nomurai (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa) and the phylogenetic relationship in the related species

“…The giant jellyfish Nemopilema nomurai (Cnidaria: Scyphozoa: Rhizostomeae: Stomolophidae) is endemic in the East Asian Marginal Seas, commonly encountered in the East Asian coastal waters (the Bohai Sea, the Yellow Sea, the East China Sea, and the Sea of Japan) and frequent blooms of this species have occurred during recent decades (Yoon et al 2014;Sun et al 2015).…”

Developing a Social–Ecological–Environmental System Framework to Address Climate Change Impacts in the North Pacific

“…In response to these blooms, a collaborative international monitoring program was established (Uye and Brodeur, 2017). This program has allowed the size of jellyfish blooms, and their dispersal by ocean currents, to be monitored (Xu et al, 2013;Sun et al, 2015) . Based on these observations and model simulations, it is now possible to provide early warnings of jellyfish blooms (magnitude, timing) to the fishing community and other stakeholders FIGURE 4 | FUTURE SEES case study 3: Jellyfish blooms in the western Pacific.…”
