These beautiful creatures  have come to public attention as featured exhibits in aquaria and in  news headlines as invaders and as providers of genes used in  biomedical research. Nevertheless, jellyfish are generally considered  to be nuisances because they interfere with human activities by  stinging swimmers, clogging power plant intakes and nets of fishermen  and fish farms, and competing with fish and eating fish eggs and  larvae. There is concern that environmental changes such as global  warming, eutrophication, and over-fishing may result in increased  jellyfish populations. \u003cbr\u003e  The literature reviews and research papers in this volume explore the  interactions between jellyfish and humans. Papers cover the medical  aspects of jellyfish stings, jellyfish as human food and jellyfish  fisheries, interactions of jellyfish and fish, effects of  environmental changes on jellyfish, effects of introduced ctenophores  on the Black Sea ecosystem, factors causing increases or  concentrations of jellyfish, and others aspects of jellyfish ecology.  This is an important reference for students and professional marine  biologists, oceanographers, fishery scientists, and aquarists.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Springer\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2012-10-21\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Paperback\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9789401038355\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-94-010-0722-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 260.0cm x195.0cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 333.0\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Springer Netherlands","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":44343414554764,"sku":"9789401038355","price":49.49,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9789401038355.jpg?v=1767148883","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9789401038355","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
