Marine researchers along the Visakhapatnam coastline in Andhra Pradesh reported an occurrence of a bloom of venomous jellyfish.
Factor affecting Jellyfish blooms | Explanation |
Natural Cycles | Jellyfish populations naturally fluctuate. Blooms can occur due to these variations. |
Ocean Temperature Rise | Warmer waters can be ideal for jellyfish reproduction and growth, increasing their populations. |
Eutrophication | Excess nutrients from runoff can lead to plankton blooms, which jellyfish feed on. This can indirectly boost jellyfish numbers. |
Overfishing | Overfishing of natural predators of jellyfish can lead to a decrease in those populations, allowing jellyfish to thrive without competition. |
Habitat Modification | Coastal development and changes in water flow can disrupt ecosystems, favoring jellyfish over other species. |
