The bloom of Aurelia aurita has been a serious problem for the marine ecosystem. Asexual 8 benthic polyp reproduction plays a major role in the jellyfish bloom. The intrinsic population dynamics of 9 polyps depend on the budding rate. Although a number of factors influence their budding rate, including the 10 presence of predators, prey, and competitors; the temperature, salinity, of the environment; and characteristics of 11 the settling substratum, this study uses only the temperature of the environment to examine the asexual 12 reproduction of the Aurelia aurita polyp. The experimental data are used from [8,9], where the most and only 13 matter of factor was temperature in the population growth of polyps of Aurelia aurita. The study uses the 14 Fibonacci sequence as a simple dynamic model of asexual reproduction and proposes population growth 15 function a(n) in which the intrinsic population growth rate of polyps is expressed as a function of time and 16 temperature. The results obtained using the temperature data from Ansan, west sea of Korea, indicate that it is 17 possible to predict the blooms of Aurelia aurita polyps , which may have considerable influence on the bloom of 18 medusa by using the mean sea water temperature. The population growth rate of the asexual reproduction is 19 very sensitive to the distribution of the seawater temperature. 20 21
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
