Outline of Final Research Achievements |
In Asian waters, large-sized jellyfish harbor a wide variety of symbionts such as fish larvae, swimming crabs, trematode larvae, brittle stars and shrimps, some of which are commercially important as sea foods. Jellyfish are obligatory hosts for young stages of some mackerels, trematodes and brittle stars. Metacercariae of 3 species of trematodes utilize scyphomedusae as the second intermediate and/or paratenic hosts, while medusivorous fish such as butterfish are final hosts. The composition of symbiotic communities is influenced by the occurrence, size, swimming speed and toxicity of hosts. Jellyfish fisheries carried out in Southeast Asia seem to greatly influence these symbionts. For example, in Thailand, about 160 million individuals of symbiotic brittle stars are estimated to be annually eliminated by fisheries at maximum. Therefore, the fisheries most likely make a great impact on not only planktonic but also benthic communities.
