Jellyfish form spectacular population blooms and there is compelling evidence that jellyfish blooms are becoming more frequent and widespread. Blooms have enormous ecological, economic, and social impacts. For example, they have been implicated in the decline of commercial fisheries, they block the cooling water intakes of coastal industries and ships, and reduce the amenity of coastal waters for tourists. Blooms may be caused by overfishing, climate change, and coastal pollution, which all affect coastal waters around the world. Jellyfish Blooms: Causes, Consequences and Recent Advances presents reviews and original research articles written by the world’s leading experts on jellyfish. Topics covered include the evolution of jellyfish blooms, the impacts of climate change on jellyfish populations, advances in acoustic and molecular methods used to study jellyfish, the role of jellyfish in food webs and nutrient cycles, and the ecology of the benthic stages of the jellyfish life history. This is a valuable resource for students and professional marine biologists, fisheries scientists, oceanographers, and researchers of climate change.

This Special Issue of Marine Drugs gathers recent investigations on the proteomes, metabolomes, transcriptomes, and the associated microbiomes of marine jellyfish and polyps, including bioactivity studies of their compounds and more generally, on their biotechnological potential, witnessing the increasingly recognized importance of Cnidaria as a largely untapped Blue Growth resource for new drug discovery. These researches evoke the outstanding ecological importance of cnidarians in marine ecosystems worldwide, calling for a global monitoring and conservation of marine biodiversity, so that the biotechnological exploitation of marine living resources will be carried out to conserve and sustainably use the natural capital of the oceans.

Technology: general issues --- cnidarian --- sea anemone --- proteins --- toxins --- two-dimensional gel electrophoresis --- MALDI-TOF/TOF --- shotgun proteomic --- Zoanthidea --- holo-transcriptome --- cnidarian transcriptome --- marine enzyme --- marine biocatalyst --- marine biotechnology --- pharmaceutical biotechnology --- anthozoa --- microbial communities --- cnidarian holobiont --- zooxanthellae --- bleaching --- antibacterial activity --- jellyfish --- Aurelia coerulea --- mucus --- proteomics --- metabolomics --- cnidarians --- gelatinous zooplankton --- bioprospecting --- novel foods --- transcriptomics --- bio-prospecting --- computational biology --- neurotoxins --- NMR spectroscopy --- biochemical characterization --- jellyfish blooms --- Cnidaria --- Ctenophora --- biodiversity --- bioactive compounds --- blue biotechnology --- invertebrate proteins --- biological activity --- antioxidants --- collagen --- pepsin hydrolysis --- collagenase hydrolysis --- oxidative stress --- keratinocytes --- cytotoxicity --- Easter Island --- Actinobacteria --- anthraquinones --- symbionts --- marine invertebrates --- spectroscopy --- chromatography --- Pelagia noctiluca --- Mediterranean jellyfish --- chemical characterization --- aquafeed and food supplements --- sustainable fishing
