Estimating the economic damage caused by jellyfish to fisheries in Korea

Linking human well‐being and jellyfish: ecosystem services, impacts, and societal responses

“…Blooms also occurred in 2006, 2007, and 2009. Annual direct damages to South Korean fisheries from jellyfish during 2006–2010 were estimated to be between $68.2 million and $205 million (Kim et al . 2012).…”

“…Blooms also occurred in 2006, 2007, and 2009. Annual direct damages to South Korean fisheries from jellyfish during 2006-2010 were estimated to be between $68.2 million and $205 million (Kim et al 2012). Jellyfish were also reported to have caused $10 million in losses to the Gulf of Mexico shrimp fishery in 2001 (Graham et al 2003) and more than $200 000 to the Peruvian anchoveta fishery (Quiñones et al 2013).…”

To Adapt or Not Adapt: Assessing the Adaptive Capacity of Artisanal Fishers in the Trondheimsfjord (Norway) to Jellyfish (Periphylla periphylla) Bloom and Purse Seiners

“…It can also reduce fish catches of artisanal and commercial fishers due to damage to net gear, stinging danger and the resultant longer working hours required to clean and fix fishing nets (Quiñones et al 2013), fish mortality due to stinging, oxygen deprivation in the aquaculture industry, and blocking of water inlets of power plants (Hay et al 1990;Ba mstedt et al 1998;Hay 2006;Purcell 2007). These negative consequences can lead to large economic losses through reduced profits and increasing costs, especially for fisheries (Graham et al 2003;Quiñones et al 2013), as well as to the whole fishing industry at a sector level (Kim et al 2012;Nastav et al 2013).…”

Jellyfish Envenomation with Skin and Cardiovascular Manifestations and Treatments

“…The outbreak of jellyfish state in recent years, which is responsible to harm to fishery supplies, and marine ecosystem, which is linked with ocean climate and other factors related to human intercommunication with the oceans [1][2][3][4][5][6]. Interacting with jellyfish tentacles, even the beached and dying jellyfish, can prompt millions of nematocysts to perforate the skin and infuse the venom through the inverted long spiny tubules, thereby causing toxic manifestations from no effect to extreme pain to death [7].…”
