Writing this week in Bioscience, however, scientists including Robert H. Condon, a researcher at the Dauphin Island Sea Lab, argue that there simply isn’t enough long-term data to conclude that global jellyfish numbers are on the rise.

This finding that previous conclusions were premature is the result of an international effort begun in 2010 by the Global Jellyfish Group to compile all of the available data on jellyfish populations. The new and growing database is known as the Jellyfish Database Initiative, or JEDI.

Does anyone have anything on the mechanisms for the potentiality of an exploding jelly fish population!??!

No, but looking forward to the day when the population of climate change activists and the gullible followers starts exploding  ;D ;D

In the oceans? Probably not.

On this forum? Probably!

No, but if you have worked out a way to make them explode, that should keep their numbers under control.

There is not enough long term data on the Southern Ocean and many other areas, but that doesn't stop flights of fancy on global temps etc.
