摘要

Abstract

Cyanea

nozakii

a common jellyfish distributed in offshore China

has a complex trophic relationship with other zooplankton groups. However

few studies have reported the predation rates and prey selection patterns of

nozakii

medusae on different prey items. Research is also lacking on the intraguild predation of

Aurelia

coerulea

(another common bloom jellyfish in offshore China) by

nozakii

. To

address the knowledge gaps

the clearance rates of

nozakii

for different prey items

including copepods (small

1 000 μm and large

1 000 μm)

fish larvae

and gelatinous prey (hydromedusae

coerulea

ephyrae

and chaetognaths)

were measured. The influence of predator size on the clearance rate was also determined. Additionally

we examined the intraguild predation of

nozakii

coerulea

medusae. The clearance rates of

nozakii

varied widely with prey organisms

being independent of prey concentrations. Gelatinous organisms

except for chaetognaths

were captured with considerably high efficiency

followed by fish larvae and copepods

indicating the preferential prey selection of gelatinous organisms by

nozakii

. The clearance rate increased linearly with the cross-sectional area of

nozakii

. Body size in medusae may

to some extents

underpin their capacity to capture more prey by increasing the encounter rate and capture success through ontogeny.

nozakii

preyed voraciously on

coerulea

in high feeding efficiency

but the clearance rate decreased with increasing

coerulea

(as prey) size. This phenomenon of intraguild predation suggests a speculative hypothesis of potential population regulation of

coerulea

nozakii

. The information regarding the feeding ecology of

nozakii

reported in this study is important for understanding plankton dynamics in marine ecosystems with extensive occurrences of this jellyfish.
