The World climate change, There is heavy rain, hot water temperature at sea level.a jelly fish that had been turned into a fish to eat the fish to eat, breed, it also has various ways can be divided into several types, and it has grown up.
The 79 results of the study, which includes lead co-author Dr Cathy Lucas, a marine biologist at the University of Southampton, appear in the latest issue of the National Proceedings of Academy of Sciences.
The key finding of the study shows global jellyfish populations undergo concurrent decadal fluctuations with successive periods of rise and fall,including a rising phase in the 1990s and early 2000s that has contributed to the current perception of a global increase in jellyfish abundance. The previous period of high jellyfish numbers during the 1970s went unnoticed due to limited research on jellyfish at the time, less awareness of global-scale problems and a lower capacity for information sharing (e. g. No Internet) .
While there has been no increase over the long-term, the authors detected a hint of a slight increase in jellyfish since 1970, although this trend was countered by the observation that there was no difference in the proportion of increasing vs. jellyfish populations decreasing over time.
Dr Cathy Lucas, who is based at the National Oceanography Centre, Southampton, says:"Sustained monitoring is now required over the next decade to shed light with statistical confidence whether the weak linear increasing trend in jellyfish populations after 1970 is an actual shift in the baseline or part of a larger oscillation."
To date,Media and scientific opinion for the current perception of a global increase in jellyfish was evidenced by a few local and regional case studies. Although there are areas where jellyfish have increased; the situation with the Giant Jellyfish Japan and in parts of the Mediterranean are classic examples, there are also areas where jellyfish numbers have remained stable,fluctuated over decadal periods, or actually decreased over time.
Increased speculation and discrepancies about current and future jellyfish blooms by the media and in climate science reports and formed the motivation for the study." There are major consequences for getting the correct answer for tourism,fisheries and management decisions as they relate to climate change and ocean changing environments," says Dr Lucas." The important aspect about our work is that we have provided the long-term baseline data available to all backed with science,which will eventually enable scientists to build on and repeat these analyses in a decade or two from now to determine whether there has been a real increase in jellyfish."
"The realisation that synchronously jellyfish rise and fall around the world should now lead the researchers to search for long-term and natural climate drivers of jellyfish populations,In addition to begin monitoring jellyfish in open ocean and Southern Hemisphere regions that are underrepresented in our analyses," says lead author Dr Rob Condon, marine scientist at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab (DISL) in Alabama.
Given posed by the potential damage to jellyfish blooms fisheries, tourism and other human industries,The findings of the group foretell recurrent phases of rise and fall in jellyfish populations that society should be prepared to face.
