A study on the barrel jellyfish in the Mediterranean and Black Seas has found that climate change is causing earlier appearances and increased numbers of jellyfish. The study analyzed 150 years of observations and discovered that since 2010, barrel jellyfish have been present in the sea for two months longer than before. This increase in jellyfish numbers has also led to changes in their distribution, with jellyfish now being commonly seen in regions where they were rarely observed in the past. While warming waters benefit jellyfish, it can negatively impact other species by reducing their food supply. The article suggests that the rise in jellyfish populations could lead to a decline in adult fish populations, as jellyfish consume fish eggs and larvae. Additionally, human activities such as overfishing and coastal development may contribute to the increase in jellyfish populations. The article acknowledges that there is still much to learn about jellyfish and encourages citizen science participation to contribute to future research. [Extracted from the article] |
