摘要

Abstract

The population explosion of jellyfish

Aurelia coerulea

occurred in Jiaozhou Bay

China in 2009. The potential predation impact of

coerulea

on zooplankton was investigated. Population clearance potential and residence time (

1/2

) for copepods were calculated from laboratory clearance rates and measurements of jellyfish size and abundance from May to August 2009 in Jiaozhou Bay. Clearance rates varied widely with prey organisms

but they were not significantly different among various prey concentrations. Medusae captured rotifers

fish larvae and hydromedusae more efficiently than fish eggs

copepods and chaetognaths. Ephyrae captured rotifers and hydromedusae more efficiently than fish larvae and copepods. Clearance rate linearly increased with the cross sectional area of

coerulea

(size from 0.3 to 7.1 cm). Water temperature also had a marked effect on clearance rate and this was related to the increased beat frequency as water temperature increased. In early May 2009

coerulea

potentially cleared the volume of water in the Bay less than 0.001 times a day

but this value was estimated to be more than 0.3 times a day in July. The

1/2

for copepods was less than 6 d in June and July. Abundances of copepods

hydromedusae and chaetognaths were extremely low in 2009 compared to 2008 and 2010 (jellyfish non-bloom years). Large predation pressure by the

coerulea

population occurred to control zooplankton communities in Jiaozhou Bay.

coerulea

when present at a high population level

can be a keystone species in Jiaozhou Bay and control the trophic structure here.
