Jellyfish Blooms: New Problems and Solutions

Jellyfish Blooms: New Problems and Solutions edited by Jennifer E. Purcell, Dror L. Angel.

The first Jellyfish Blooms volume was published in 2001. Since that time, reports of human problems with jellyfish, as well as public and scientific awareness of the importance of jellyfish in coastal waters have increased dramatically. At the same time, the severity of the many complex environmenta...
