Abstract During monitoring visits to the beaches of Fnideq, M'Diq, Cabo-Negro, and Martil, two jellyfish species along Moroccan Northwest Mediterranean coast have been observed. Rhizostoma luteum (Quoy JRC, Gaimard JP. Observations zoologiques faites à bord de l'Astrolabe, en mai 1826, dans le Détroit Gibraltar. Annales des Sciences Naturelles, 1827) was recorded at Fnideq in January 2014, Cotylorhiza tuberculata (Macri S. Nuove osservazioni intorno la Storia naturale del polmone marino, 1778) between M'Diq Cabonegro beach August 2015. Although their occurrence Sea is less frequent compared outbreaks Pelagia noctiluca (Forskål P. Descriptiones animalium, avium, amphibiorum, piscium, insectorum, vermium: quae itinere orientali observavit. ex officina Mölleri; 1775), these findings represent first documented records this region, contributing valuable insights existing knowledge distribution Mediterranean.

In this study, we investigate the diversity and spatiotemporal distribution of gelatinous zooplankton (GZ) in central Baltic Sea (coastal waters Gotland adjacent Eastern Western Basins), a region characterised by low salinity ecological sensitivity. Despite being largest brackish water body globally, knowledge about its GZ, specifically, medusae ctenophores, is limited. Our research synthesises existing literature, open-access data, local reports. Three to five GZ species occur within studied area, with common jellyfish Aurelia aurita dominating. Peak sightings A. happen between July October, whereas ctenophore Mertensia ovum scyphozoan Cyanea capillata display sporadic occurrences. We identify notable gaps understanding phenology food web impacts due historical neglect insufficient monitoring, particularly under low-salinity conditions (between 5 8), which restricts richness. Jellyfish ctenophores fall Essential Ocean Variable (EOV) “Zooplankton Biomass Diversity” governed Global Observing System, UNESCO-IOC. EOVs are an approach for globally usable data adhere Findable, Accessible, Interoperable, Reusable (FAIR) principles. Including routine collection reporting would significantly enhance regional global understanding, contributing holistic ecosystem view. Thus, advocate ocean observation frameworks comprehensively monitor populations their ecological, biogeochemical, socioeconomic roles. findings serve as crucial step towards implications climate change assemblages Sea, promoting marine management.
