“…Invasive species are one of the major threats in several coastal communities (Carlton, 1989;Carlton, 2001;Paul and Kar, 2016;Soares et al, 2018), being responsible for ecological, economical, and social impacts, such as the loss of biodiversity and biomass, and damage to ecosystem goods and services (Bellard et al, 2016;Gallardo et al, 2016;Vilà and Hulme, 2018;Walsh et al, 2016). Jellyfish have high invasive potential due to the ability of their planktonic and benthic (polyp) stages to survive under drastic environmental changes; however, worldwide, there are only five species for which there are confirmed reports of biological invasion (Bayha and Graham, 2014).…”
