The sea gooseberry Pleurobrachia pileus is a common planktonic species found in coastal waters of the North Atlantic.
The proliferation of this non-native species caused major changes to the Black Sea pelagic ecosystem during the late 1980s and early 1990s resulting in the collapse of important fisheries for the anchovy and other fin fish species.
Threats to this group are not well understood at present, although sewage and chemical pollution have the potential to limit comb jelly populations in coastal waters.

Since 1950, 13,500 sq kilometres (5,212 sq miles) of sea ice - enough to cover the island of Jamaica - have disintegrated.
Either way, the ice shelf is important in the Southern ocean ecosystem, but researchers are still not sure how such changes will affect the seabirds, seals and whales which feed and breed in the teem ing southern waters, but which also have large ocean ranges.
Those temperatures are high in the sum mer, when the phytoplankton bloom and the food supply is there for them to exploit, but they might not be able to exploit it because of this limit to physiological capability," Prof Peck said.
