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.
