Abstract

Hence, we have developed the first bioenergetics-based population model for the ubiquitous jellyfish Aurelia spp. that incorporates both benthic and pelagic life history stages. This model tracks cohorts of both life stages with temperature- and/or consumption-driven relationships for growth, reproduction and mortality.
