“…Yet a few assessments exist for the open-ocean (e.g., Graham et al (2014)) indicating that CES are not generated solely by human interaction with physical space and its natural processes, but also by people's mental space with its symbolic and interpretative interactions, formed by perceptions, emotions, attitudes, values and understandings of a given natural setting (Chan et al 2012a, Chan et al 2012b, Gee and Burkhard 2010, Kumar and Kumar 2008. In this sense, even if one has never visited or interacted with openocean or deep-sea habitats, such areas could be valuable and meaningful to peoplehaving existence and/or bequest value -generating CES benefits to wellbeing such as inspiration, knowledge, or spirituality through photographs, books, documentaries, paintings, exhibitions, or even scientific publications.…”

First detection of Mnemiopsis leidyi (Ctenophora, Bolinopsidae) in Sardinia (S’Ena Arrubia Lagoon, Western Mediterranean): a threat for local fishery and species recruitment

The invasive comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi is a lobate ctenophore native of coastal and estuarine waters of the temperate western Atlantic Ocean. In the last decades this species has expanded its range of distribution, colonizing marine and transitional environments in Europe. In October 2015, during a survey fishing the European eel Anguilla anguilla in Sardinia (western Mediterranean), a massive bloom of this specie was observed in the eutrophic S’Ena Arrubia Lagoon for the first time. In November 2015, sampling was conducted at three stations in the lagoon and in a fyke net, in order to estimate the abundance of M. leidyi and to determine its impact on the fishing activity. The results showed an abundance of 2.83 ctenophores m-3. Specimens were all adults, measuring 18 - 62 mm total length. The abundant number of ctenophores (6837 individuals per fyke net) damaged fishing operations, reducing catches and affecting the performance of fishing gears. Since there is no effective mechanical, chemical or biological method to counter M. leidyi, the short term economic damage may be approached by new management measures of fisheries. In addition, other actions against the recurring of M. leidyi invasion, can include management strategies, in particular those finalized to reduce the high trophic state of the lagoon.

“…Jellyfish are generally considered unwanted or harmful and can cause direct damage to tourism, infrastructure and fishing gear [2]. They also have more indirect impacts on ecosystem functioning, as certain jellyfish and forage fish (small pelagic zooplanktivorous fish) feed at a similar trophic level [4][5][6]8,10,11].…”

Competition between large jellyfish and forage fish for zooplankton prey is both a possible cause of jellyfish increases and a concern for the management of marine ecosystems and fisheries. Identifying principal factors affecting this competition is therefore important for marine management, but the lack of both good quality data and a robust theoretical framework have prevented general global analyses. Here, we present a general mechanistic food web model that considers fundamental differences in feeding modes and predation pressure between fish and jellyfish. The model predicts forage fish dominance at low primary production, and a shift towards jellyfish with increasing productivity, turbidity and fishing. We present an index of global ecosystem susceptibility to shifts in fish -jellyfish dominance that compares well with data on jellyfish distributions and trends. The results are a step towards better understanding the processes that govern jellyfish occurrences globally and highlight the advantage of considering feeding traits in ecosystem models.
