Publication Abstract

Mnemiopsis leidyi: Ecology, Modelling and Observation – Results after three years scientific research

 

　

Three years of intensive research in the MEMO project have delivered some answers about the risk and impact in the North Sea of the invasive comb jelly Mnemiopsis leidyi, which is native to the eastern coast of the US. On November 18th and 19th the last steering committee meeting and stakeholder meeting was held at ILVO (project leader). Results were discussed and presented.

 

 

 

MEMO consists of three activities, all of them contributed to these answers. The final goal of MEMO is to inform all stakeholders (e.g. fisheries, tourism, government) and, if necessary, to help develop strategies for mitigation.
