摘要

Abstract

The giant jellyfish

Nemopilema

nomurai

is the largest and most dangerous jellyfish species in East Asian waters

and the

nomurai

bloom causes serious problem in coastal industries

fisheries

and tourism. In the previous surv

eys

we found

nomurai

could not be observed in the south of 30°N. In this paper

we analyzed the mechanism of this phenomenon. After exploring the possible impacts of different environmental factors

we found that physical processes are essential to the distribution pattern of

nomurai

rather than biological or chemical factors in the East China Sea. The combination of the location of the initial breeding places of

nomurai

and the current system determine the distribution pattern. This study could provide important insights to the potential control of the giant jellyfish in the Chinese coastal waters.
