...The dramatic effects following Mnemiopsis introductions documented in the Black (e.g., Kideys, 2002; Shiganova et al., 2004a) and Caspian (e.g., Shiganova et al., 2004b; Roohi et al., 2008, 2009) seas occurred in habitats that lacked gelatinous predators (Purcell et al., 2001)....

...Mnemiopsis introductions have been comparatively devastating in regions without other gelatinous predators, such as the Caspian sea (Roohi et al., 2008, 2009), but they may be moderated in the presence of established indigenous gelatinous predators, such as in recently invaded European regions…...

...Its arrival in each of these regions has led to decreased zooplankton abundances and diversity (7–10), often with trophic cascades that increase phytoplankton standing stocks (10, 11)....

...These plankton invaders can have profound ecological and economic impacts, the most notorious and well-studied being the ctenophore Mnemiopsis leidyi (Agassiz, 1865) in the Black and Caspian Seas (Shiganova et al. 2004; Daskalov and Mamedov 2007; Roohi et al. 2008; Roohi et al. 2010)....

...Overfishing, eutrophication and global warming have also been suggested as triggering factors for explosions in both native and introduced waters ( Mills 2001; Lynam et al. 2006; Bilio and Niermann 2004; Purcell 2005)....
