Jellyfication of marine ecosystems as a likely consequence of overfishing small pelagic fishes: Lessons from the Benguela
(University of Miami, Rosenstiel School of Marine and Atmospheric Science, 2013)
Changes in two contrasting ecosystems of the Benguela upwelling region,
one dominated at mid-trophic level by jellyfishes (Namibia, northern Benguela
ecosystem, where small pelagic fish abundance has been severely depleted) ...
Reviewing evidence of marine ecosystem change off South Africa
(National Inquiry Services Centre, 2013)
Recent changes have been observed in South African marine ecosystems. The main pressures on these
ecosystems are fishing, climate change, pollution, ocean acidification and mining. The best long-term datasets are
for trends ...
Beyond the jellyfish joyride and global oscillations: advancing jellyfish research
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
There has been debate in the literature recently about increases in jellyfish populations in response to anthropogenic change, and this has attracted widespread media interest. Despite an international collaborative ...
Self-maintaining or continuously refreshed? The genetic structure of Euphausia lucens populations in the Benguela upwelling ecosystem
(Oxford University Press, 2013)
Populations of Euphausia lucens over the shelf of the southern Benguela upwelling region could be self-maintaining. Alternatively, they could be continually refreshed by expatriates from the SW Atlantic that enter the ...
