Abstract
Climate change may contribute to the increasing frequency and intensity of jellyfish blooms around the world. To test the null hypotheses that distributions did not differ among species of jellyfish or according to temperature salinity, we sampled large jellyfishes using bottom trawl surveys during 2006–2007 in the Yellow Sea (YS) and East China Sea (ECS). The total biomass of large jellyfish in the YS was low in April 2006 in cool waters, increased with warming waters, peaked in early September 2006 (22,891 ± 25,888 kg km–2), and then decreased with cooling to minimal biomass during March 2007. During its peak early September 2006,
