Introduced species remark in Baltic Sea (IHO Sea Area) : Despite the low present predation impact by M. leidyi on zooplankton, the ctenophore may exert a significant predatory influence on Baltic cod eggs at relatively low abundances due to an overlap in their vertical distribution in the Bornholm Basin. [details]

Introduced species remark In Israeli part of the Mediterranean Sea - Eastern Basin (Marine Region) : Swarms of the species pose a threat to local coastal power and desalination plants. Plant engineers were forced to increase the frequency of backwash cycles in the pretreatment stage and consequently increasing the discharge of coagulants such as ferric s [details]
