Cecilia Carcedo;Quantifying biotic feedbacks in response to environmental signals is fundamental to assess ecosystem perturbation. We analyzed the joint effects of eutrophication, derived from sewage pollution, and climate at the base of the pelagic food web in the Bahía Blanca Estuary (SW Atlantic Ocean). A two-year survey of environmental conditions and microplankton communities was conducted in two sites affected by contrasting anthropogenic eutrophication conditions. Under severe eutrophication, we found higher phytoplankton abundance consistently dominated by smaller sized, non siliceous species, while microzooplankton abundance remained lower and nutrient stoichiometry showed conspicuous deviations from the Redfield ratio. Phytoplankton growth in such conditions appeared controlled by phosphorous. In turn, microplankton biomass and phytoplankton size ratio (20μm) displayed a saturation relationship with nutrients in the highly eutrophic area, although mean phytoplankton growth was similar in both eutrophic systems. The strength of links within the estuarine network, quantified through path analysis, showed enhanced relationships under larger anthropogenic eutrophication, which fostered the climate influence on microplankton communities. Our results show conspicuous effects of severe sewage pollution on the ecological stoichiometry, i.e., N and P excess with respect to Si, altering nutrient ratios for microplankton communities. This warns on wide consequences on food web dynamics and ultimately in ecosystem assets of coastal pelagic environments.

Monte Hermoso (Atlantique Sud-Ouest, Argentine) est un écosystème côtier fortement modulé par le forçage éolien. Les vents terrestres ont historiquement joué un rôle de premier plan dans l'afflux de touristes, car ils sont associés à la présence de la méduse endémique Olindias sambaquiensis. Cette espèce est étroitement liée aux étés chauds, mais elle pourrait être favorisée par les basses températures des hivers précédents. Depuis l'été 2013, un changement dans la configuration des vents a été perçu localement coïncidant avec l'absence de la méduse dans les eaux côtières. Ce travail visait à analyser si le modèle de vent et la température de surface de la mer (SST) ont montré un changement mesurable au cours de la période 2008-2015 et à évaluer si ce changement peut être associé aux variations observées dans le modèle d'occurrence de l'O. sambaquiensis. Les données sur les vents et les SST ont été analysées en périodes de forte (2008-2012) et de faible (2013-2015) occurrence des méduses, sur la base des médias et de ses propres observations. Un changement significatif dans la configuration du vent à Monte Hermoso a été détecté. La vitesse du vent a diminué de 6,3 m s-1 en 2008 à 2,4 m s-1 en 2015 et les vents calmes et légers ont augmenté de plus de 44,2 et 7,5 %, respectivement. Ce changement impliquait un obstacle à la remontée des eaux côtières, qui est le processus physique par lequel les méduses atteignent la côte, et est associé à des vents persistants (10 h ou plus) du nord-ouest à l'est soufflant à ≥ 3,3 m s-1. Ainsi, à l'été 2008 (période de forte occurrence de méduses), 45 jours-côtes d'upwelling ont été détectés contre seulement 8 jours à l'été 2015 (période d'absence de méduses). De plus, des anomalies SST positives ont été trouvées sur la période de 8 ans, suggérant une tendance à la hausse de 0,4 °C. Des températures plus élevées que la normale au cours des hivers récents affectent probablement négativement la reproduction des polype. Nos résultats démontrent un changement environnemental dans l'écosystème du Monte Hermoso et peuvent expliquer, en partie, la faible présence de l'O. sambaquiensis au cours des derniers étés. La connaissance des facteurs qui régulent la présence de l'O. sambaquiensis est fondamentale pour l'élaboration d'un plan de gestion côtière et/ou pour la détermination des premières stratégies d'adaptation. Monte Hermoso (Atlántico Sudoeste, Argentina) es un ecosistema costero altamente modulado por el forzamiento del viento. Históricamente, los vientos marinos han desempeñado un papel principal en la afluencia de turistas, ya que están asociados con la aparición de la medusa urticante endémica Olindias sambaquiensis. Esta especie está estrechamente relacionada con los veranos cálidos, pero podría verse favorecida por las bajas temperaturas en inviernos anteriores. Desde el verano de 2013, un cambio en el patrón de viento se percibió localmente coincidiendo con la ausencia de la medusa en las aguas costeras. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar si el patrón de viento y la temperatura superficial del mar (TSM) mostraron un cambio medible a lo largo de 2008-2015 y evaluar si este cambio puede asociarse a las variaciones observadas en el patrón de ocurrencia de O. sambaquiensis. Los datos de vientos y SST se analizaron en períodos de alta (2008-2012) y baja (2013-2015) ocurrencia de medusas, en función de los medios y las propias observaciones. Se detectó un cambio significativo en el patrón de viento en Monte Hermoso. La velocidad del viento disminuyó de 6,3 m s-1 en 2008 a 2,4 m s-1 en 2015 y las calmas y los vientos ligeros aumentaron en más del 44,2 y el 7,5 %, respectivamente. Este cambio implicó un impedimento de surgencia costera, que es el proceso físico por el cual las medusas llegan a la costa, y se asocia con vientos persistentes (10 h o más) WNW a ene que soplan a ≥ 3.3 m s-1. En consecuencia, en el verano de 2008 (período de alta ocurrencia de medusas), se detectaron 45 días de surgencia costera en contraste con solo 8 días en el verano de 2015 (período de ausencia de medusas). Además, se encontraron anomalías positivas de SST durante el período de 8 años, lo que sugiere una tendencia creciente de 0,4 °C. Las temperaturas más altas de lo normal durante los inviernos recientes probablemente afecten negativamente la reproducción de los pólipos. Nuestros resultados demuestran un cambio ambiental en el ecosistema de Monte Hermoso y pueden explicar, en parte, la baja incidencia de O. sambaquiensis en los últimos veranos. El conocimiento de los factores que regulan la ocurrencia de O. sambaquiensis es fundamental para desarrollar un plan de manejo costero y/o para determinar las primeras estrategias de adaptación. Monte Hermoso (SW Atlantic, Argentina) is a coastal ecosystem highly modulated by wind forcing. Ofshore winds have historically played a leading role in the tourist influx as they are associated with the occurrence of the endemic stinging medusa Olindias sambaquiensis. This species is closely related to warm summers but it could be favored by low temperatures in previous winters. Since summer 2013, a change in the wind pattern was locally perceived coincidently with the absence of the medusa in coastal waters. This work aimed at analyzing if wind pattern and sea surface temperature (SST) showed a measurable change along 2008-2015 and evaluating if this change can be associated to the observed variations in the occurrence pattern of O. sambaquiensis. Winds and SST data were analyzed in periods of high (2008-2012) and low (2013-2015) medusae occurrence, based on media and own observations. A significant change in the wind pattern in Monte Hermoso was detected. Wind speed decreased from 6.3 m s-1 in 2008 to 2.4 m s-1 in 2015 and calms and light winds increased by more than 44.2 and 7.5 %, respectively. This change implied an impediment of coastal upwelling, which is the physical process by which medusae reach the coast, and is associated with persistent (10 h or more) WNW to ENE winds blowing at ≥ 3.3 m s-1. Accordingly, in summer 2008 (period of high medusae occurrence), 45 coastal upwelling-days were detected in contrast to only 8 days in summer 2015 (period of absence of medusae). Also, positive SST anomalies were found over the 8-yr period, suggesting an increasing trend of 0.4 °C. Higher temperatures than normal during recent winters probably afect negatively the polyp reproduction. Our results demonstrate an environmental change in the ecosystem of Monte Hermoso and may explain, in part, the low occurrence of O. sambaquiensis in recent summers. The knowledge of the factors that regulate the occurrence of O. sambaquiensis is fundamental for developing a coastal management plan and/or for determining the first adaptation strategies. مونتي هيرموسو (جنوب غرب المحيط الأطلسي، الأرجنتين) هو نظام إيكولوجي ساحلي معدل للغاية من خلال تأثير الرياح. لعبت الرياح البحرية تاريخيًا دورًا رائدًا في التدفق السياحي حيث ترتبط بحدوث اللدغة المتوطنة ميدوسا أوليندياس سامباكوينسيس. يرتبط هذا النوع ارتباطًا وثيقًا بالصيف الدافئ ولكن يمكن تفضيله بسبب درجات الحرارة المنخفضة في الشتاء السابق. منذ صيف عام 2013، كان يُنظر محليًا إلى تغيير في نمط الرياح بالتزامن مع عدم وجود ميدوسا في المياه الساحلية. يهدف هذا العمل إلى تحليل ما إذا كان نمط الرياح ودرجة حرارة سطح البحر (SST) قد أظهر تغييرًا قابلاً للقياس على طول الفترة 2008-2015 وتقييم ما إذا كان هذا التغيير يمكن أن يرتبط بالتغيرات الملحوظة في نمط حدوث O. sambaquiensis. تم تحليل بيانات الرياح و SST في الفترات المرتفعة (2008-2012) والمنخفضة (2013-2015)، بناءً على وسائل الإعلام والملاحظات الخاصة. تم اكتشاف تغيير كبير في نمط الرياح في مونتي هيرموسو. انخفضت سرعة الرياح من 6.3 متر مربع في عام 2008 إلى 2.4 متر مربع في عام 2015 وزادت الهدوء والرياح الخفيفة بأكثر من 44.2 و 7.5 ٪ على التوالي. ينطوي هذا التغيير على عائق أمام الصعود الساحلي، وهي العملية الفيزيائية التي تصل بها الميدوسا إلى الساحل، وترتبط بالرياح المستمرة (10 ساعات أو أكثر) من غرب وشرق أوروبا التي تهب عند ≥ 3.3 متر مربع -1. وفقًا لذلك، في صيف عام 2008 (فترة حدوث ارتفاع في المتوسط)، تم اكتشاف 45 يومًا من ارتفاع المياه الساحلية على النقيض من 8 أيام فقط في صيف عام 2015 (فترة غياب المتوسط). كما تم العثور على حالات شاذة إيجابية في التوقيت الصيفي خلال فترة 8 سنوات، مما يشير إلى اتجاه متزايد قدره 0.4 درجة مئوية. من المحتمل أن تكون درجات الحرارة الأعلى من المعتاد خلال فصول الشتاء الأخيرة مؤثرة سلبًا على تكاثر السليلة. تُظهر نتائجنا تغيرًا بيئيًا في النظام البيئي لمونتي هيرموسو وقد تفسر، جزئيًا، انخفاض حدوث O. sambaquiensis في الصيف الأخير. تعد معرفة العوامل التي تنظم حدوث O. sambaquiensis أمرًا أساسيًا لوضع خطة إدارة ساحلية و/أو لتحديد استراتيجيات التكيف الأولى.

Scyphozoan medusae are critical components of marine ecosystems; however, our knowledge on their population dynamics and life history needed to understand their role on ecosystem functioning is relatively scarce. We used data from fish-stock assessment cruises (1993–2013), artisanal fisheries and stranding events (2006–2007), to assess spatio-temporal variation in biomass, growth and reproduction, of a large and abundant scyphomedusae (Lychnorhiza lucerna) in a productive estuarine ecosystem (Río de la Plata Estuary, RLPE) (35°S-57°W) from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Medusae consisted of sexually mature individuals only, occurring consistently during austral summer. Medusae biomass displayed a patchy distribution, concentrating mainly in two geographically different hot-spots associated to a frontal feature (turbidity front) of the RLPE. Individual size, relative fecundity, and degree of gonad development varied significantly between hot-spots. Biomass varied greatly among years. Bell diameter, wet weight, and percentage of fully developed oocytes increased during the first half of the summer but decreased during the second half of it. Our results suggest high predictability of the period of occurrence and the distribution of L. lucerna in the RLPE. Physical mechanisms of medusa aggregation, potential effects of medusae on zooplankton dynamics, fisheries production, and conservation of sea turtles, as well as their potential for the development of a local jellyfish fishery, are here discussed. This work provides novel information on patterns of distribution, growth and development of L. lucerna medusae, which can help to enhance our understanding of the role of large medusae on ecosystem functioning of marine ecosystems worldwide.

Monte Hermoso (Atlantique Sud-Ouest, Argentine) est un écosystème côtier fortement modulé par le forçage éolien. Les vents terrestres ont historiquement joué un rôle de premier plan dans l'afflux de touristes, car ils sont associés à la présence de la méduse endémique Olindias sambaquiensis. Cette espèce est étroitement liée aux étés chauds, mais elle pourrait être favorisée par les basses températures des hivers précédents. Depuis l'été 2013, un changement dans la configuration des vents a été perçu localement coïncidant avec l'absence de la méduse dans les eaux côtières. Ce travail visait à analyser si le modèle de vent et la température de surface de la mer (SST) ont montré un changement mesurable au cours de la période 2008-2015 et à évaluer si ce changement peut être associé aux variations observées dans le modèle d'occurrence de l'O. sambaquiensis. Les données sur les vents et les SST ont été analysées en périodes de forte (2008-2012) et de faible (2013-2015) occurrence des méduses, sur la base des médias et de ses propres observations. Un changement significatif dans la configuration du vent à Monte Hermoso a été détecté. La vitesse du vent a diminué de 6,3 m s-1 en 2008 à 2,4 m s-1 en 2015 et les vents calmes et légers ont augmenté de plus de 44,2 et 7,5 %, respectivement. Ce changement impliquait un obstacle à la remontée des eaux côtières, qui est le processus physique par lequel les méduses atteignent la côte, et est associé à des vents persistants (10 h ou plus) du nord-ouest à l'est soufflant à ≥ 3,3 m s-1. Ainsi, à l'été 2008 (période de forte occurrence de méduses), 45 jours-côtes d'upwelling ont été détectés contre seulement 8 jours à l'été 2015 (période d'absence de méduses). De plus, des anomalies SST positives ont été trouvées sur la période de 8 ans, suggérant une tendance à la hausse de 0,4 °C. Des températures plus élevées que la normale au cours des hivers récents affectent probablement négativement la reproduction des polype. Nos résultats démontrent un changement environnemental dans l'écosystème du Monte Hermoso et peuvent expliquer, en partie, la faible présence de l'O. sambaquiensis au cours des derniers étés. La connaissance des facteurs qui régulent la présence de l'O. sambaquiensis est fondamentale pour l'élaboration d'un plan de gestion côtière et/ou pour la détermination des premières stratégies d'adaptation. Monte Hermoso (Atlántico Sudoeste, Argentina) es un ecosistema costero altamente modulado por el forzamiento del viento. Históricamente, los vientos marinos han desempeñado un papel principal en la afluencia de turistas, ya que están asociados con la aparición de la medusa urticante endémica Olindias sambaquiensis. Esta especie está estrechamente relacionada con los veranos cálidos, pero podría verse favorecida por las bajas temperaturas en inviernos anteriores. Desde el verano de 2013, un cambio en el patrón de viento se percibió localmente coincidiendo con la ausencia de la medusa en las aguas costeras. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar si el patrón de viento y la temperatura superficial del mar (TSM) mostraron un cambio medible a lo largo de 2008-2015 y evaluar si este cambio puede asociarse a las variaciones observadas en el patrón de ocurrencia de O. sambaquiensis. Los datos de vientos y SST se analizaron en períodos de alta (2008-2012) y baja (2013-2015) ocurrencia de medusas, en función de los medios y las propias observaciones. Se detectó un cambio significativo en el patrón de viento en Monte Hermoso. La velocidad del viento disminuyó de 6,3 m s-1 en 2008 a 2,4 m s-1 en 2015 y las calmas y los vientos ligeros aumentaron en más del 44,2 y el 7,5 %, respectivamente. Este cambio implicó un impedimento de surgencia costera, que es el proceso físico por el cual las medusas llegan a la costa, y se asocia con vientos persistentes (10 h o más) WNW a ene que soplan a ≥ 3.3 m s-1. En consecuencia, en el verano de 2008 (período de alta ocurrencia de medusas), se detectaron 45 días de surgencia costera en contraste con solo 8 días en el verano de 2015 (período de ausencia de medusas). Además, se encontraron anomalías positivas de SST durante el período de 8 años, lo que sugiere una tendencia creciente de 0,4 °C. Las temperaturas más altas de lo normal durante los inviernos recientes probablemente afecten negativamente la reproducción de los pólipos. Nuestros resultados demuestran un cambio ambiental en el ecosistema de Monte Hermoso y pueden explicar, en parte, la baja incidencia de O. sambaquiensis en los últimos veranos. El conocimiento de los factores que regulan la ocurrencia de O. sambaquiensis es fundamental para desarrollar un plan de manejo costero y/o para determinar las primeras estrategias de adaptación. Monte Hermoso (SW Atlantic, Argentina) is a coastal ecosystem highly modulated by wind forcing. Ofshore winds have historically played a leading role in the tourist influx as they are associated with the occurrence of the endemic stinging medusa Olindias sambaquiensis. This species is closely related to warm summers but it could be favored by low temperatures in previous winters. Since summer 2013, a change in the wind pattern was locally perceived coincidently with the absence of the medusa in coastal waters. This work aimed at analyzing if wind pattern and sea surface temperature (SST) showed a measurable change along 2008-2015 and evaluating if this change can be associated to the observed variations in the occurrence pattern of O. sambaquiensis. Winds and SST data were analyzed in periods of high (2008-2012) and low (2013-2015) medusae occurrence, based on media and own observations. A significant change in the wind pattern in Monte Hermoso was detected. Wind speed decreased from 6.3 m s-1 in 2008 to 2.4 m s-1 in 2015 and calms and light winds increased by more than 44.2 and 7.5 %, respectively. This change implied an impediment of coastal upwelling, which is the physical process by which medusae reach the coast, and is associated with persistent (10 h or more) WNW to ENE winds blowing at ≥ 3.3 m s-1. Accordingly, in summer 2008 (period of high medusae occurrence), 45 coastal upwelling-days were detected in contrast to only 8 days in summer 2015 (period of absence of medusae). Also, positive SST anomalies were found over the 8-yr period, suggesting an increasing trend of 0.4 °C. Higher temperatures than normal during recent winters probably afect negatively the polyp reproduction. Our results demonstrate an environmental change in the ecosystem of Monte Hermoso and may explain, in part, the low occurrence of O. sambaquiensis in recent summers. The knowledge of the factors that regulate the occurrence of O. sambaquiensis is fundamental for developing a coastal management plan and/or for determining the first adaptation strategies. مونتي هيرموسو (جنوب غرب المحيط الأطلسي، الأرجنتين) هو نظام إيكولوجي ساحلي معدل للغاية من خلال تأثير الرياح. لعبت الرياح البحرية تاريخيًا دورًا رائدًا في التدفق السياحي حيث ترتبط بحدوث اللدغة المتوطنة ميدوسا أوليندياس سامباكوينسيس. يرتبط هذا النوع ارتباطًا وثيقًا بالصيف الدافئ ولكن يمكن تفضيله بسبب درجات الحرارة المنخفضة في الشتاء السابق. منذ صيف عام 2013، كان يُنظر محليًا إلى تغيير في نمط الرياح بالتزامن مع عدم وجود ميدوسا في المياه الساحلية. يهدف هذا العمل إلى تحليل ما إذا كان نمط الرياح ودرجة حرارة سطح البحر (SST) قد أظهر تغييرًا قابلاً للقياس على طول الفترة 2008-2015 وتقييم ما إذا كان هذا التغيير يمكن أن يرتبط بالتغيرات الملحوظة في نمط حدوث O. sambaquiensis. تم تحليل بيانات الرياح و SST في الفترات المرتفعة (2008-2012) والمنخفضة (2013-2015)، بناءً على وسائل الإعلام والملاحظات الخاصة. تم اكتشاف تغيير كبير في نمط الرياح في مونتي هيرموسو. انخفضت سرعة الرياح من 6.3 متر مربع في عام 2008 إلى 2.4 متر مربع في عام 2015 وزادت الهدوء والرياح الخفيفة بأكثر من 44.2 و 7.5 ٪ على التوالي. ينطوي هذا التغيير على عائق أمام الصعود الساحلي، وهي العملية الفيزيائية التي تصل بها الميدوسا إلى الساحل، وترتبط بالرياح المستمرة (10 ساعات أو أكثر) من غرب وشرق أوروبا التي تهب عند ≥ 3.3 متر مربع -1. وفقًا لذلك، في صيف عام 2008 (فترة حدوث ارتفاع في المتوسط)، تم اكتشاف 45 يومًا من ارتفاع المياه الساحلية على النقيض من 8 أيام فقط في صيف عام 2015 (فترة غياب المتوسط). كما تم العثور على حالات شاذة إيجابية في التوقيت الصيفي خلال فترة 8 سنوات، مما يشير إلى اتجاه متزايد قدره 0.4 درجة مئوية. من المحتمل أن تكون درجات الحرارة الأعلى من المعتاد خلال فصول الشتاء الأخيرة مؤثرة سلبًا على تكاثر السليلة. تُظهر نتائجنا تغيرًا بيئيًا في النظام البيئي لمونتي هيرموسو وقد تفسر، جزئيًا، انخفاض حدوث O. sambaquiensis في الصيف الأخير. تعد معرفة العوامل التي تنظم حدوث O. sambaquiensis أمرًا أساسيًا لوضع خطة إدارة ساحلية و/أو لتحديد استراتيجيات التكيف الأولى.

Históricamente, los vientos marinos han desempeñado un papel principal en la afluencia de turistas, ya que están asociados con la aparición de la medusa urticante endémica Olindias sambaquiensis. Esta especie está estrechamente relacionada con los veranos cálidos, pero podría verse favorecida por las bajas temperaturas en inviernos anteriores. Desde el verano de 2013, un cambio en el patrón de viento se percibió localmente coincidiendo con la ausencia de la medusa en las aguas costeras. Este trabajo tuvo como objetivo analizar si el patrón de viento y la temperatura superficial del mar (TSM) mostraron un cambio medible a lo largo de 2008-2015 y evaluar si este cambio puede asociarse a las variaciones observadas en el patrón de ocurrencia de O. sambaquiensis. Los datos de vientos y SST se analizaron en períodos de alta (2008-2012) y baja (2013-2015) ocurrencia de medusas, en función de los medios y las propias observaciones. Se detectó un cambio significativo en el patrón de viento en Monte Hermoso. La velocidad del viento disminuyó de 6,3 m s-1 en 2008 a 2,4 m s-1 en 2015 y las calmas y los vientos ligeros aumentaron en más del 44,2 y el 7,5 %, respectivamente. Este cambio implicó un impedimento de surgencia costera, que es el proceso físico por el cual las medusas llegan a la costa, y se asocia con vientos persistentes (10 h o más) WNW a ene que soplan a ≥ 3.3 m s-1. En consecuencia, en el verano de 2008 (período de alta ocurrencia de medusas), se detectaron 45 días de surgencia costera en contraste con solo 8 días en el verano de 2015 (período de ausencia de medusas). Además, se encontraron anomalías positivas de SST durante el período de 8 años, lo que sugiere una tendencia creciente de 0,4 °C. Las temperaturas más altas de lo normal durante los inviernos recientes probablemente afecten negativamente la reproducción de los pólipos. Nuestros resultados demuestran un cambio ambiental en el ecosistema de Monte Hermoso y pueden explicar, en parte, la baja incidencia de O. sambaquiensis en los últimos veranos. El conocimiento de los factores que regulan la ocurrencia de O. sambaquiensis es fundamental para desarrollar un plan de manejo costero y/o para determinar las primeras estrategias de adaptación. Monte Hermoso (SW Atlantic, Argentina) is a coastal ecosystem highly modulated by wind forcing. Ofshore winds have historically played a leading role in the tourist influx as they are associated with the occurrence of the endemic stinging medusa Olindias sambaquiensis. This species is closely related to warm summers but it could be favored by low temperatures in previous winters. Since summer 2013, a change in the wind pattern was locally perceived coincidently with the absence of the medusa in coastal waters. This work aimed at analyzing if wind pattern and sea surface temperature (SST) showed a measurable change along 2008-2015 and evaluating if this change can be associated to the observed variations in the occurrence pattern of O. sambaquiensis. Winds and SST data were analyzed in periods of high (2008-2012) and low (2013-2015) medusae occurrence, based on media and own observations. A significant change in the wind pattern in Monte Hermoso was detected. Wind speed decreased from 6.3 m s-1 in 2008 to 2.4 m s-1 in 2015 and calms and light winds increased by more than 44.2 and 7.5 %, respectively. This change implied an impediment of coastal upwelling, which is the physical process by which medusae reach the coast, and is associated with persistent (10 h or more) WNW to ENE winds blowing at ≥ 3.3 m s-1. Accordingly, in summer 2008 (period of high medusae occurrence), 45 coastal upwelling-days were detected in contrast to only 8 days in summer 2015 (period of absence of medusae). Also, positive SST anomalies were found over the 8-yr period, suggesting an increasing trend of 0.4 °C. Higher temperatures than normal during recent winters probably afect negatively the polyp reproduction. Our results demonstrate an environmental change in the ecosystem of Monte Hermoso and may explain, in part, the low occurrence of O. sambaquiensis in recent summers. The knowledge of the factors that regulate the occurrence of O. sambaquiensis is fundamental for developing a coastal management plan and/or for determining the first adaptation strategies. مونتي هيرموسو (جنوب غرب المحيط الأطلسي، الأرجنتين) هو نظام إيكولوجي ساحلي معدل للغاية من خلال تأثير الرياح. لعبت الرياح البحرية تاريخيًا دورًا رائدًا في التدفق السياحي حيث ترتبط بحدوث اللدغة المتوطنة ميدوسا أوليندياس سامباكوينسيس. يرتبط هذا النوع ارتباطًا وثيقًا بالصيف الدافئ ولكن يمكن تفضيله بسبب درجات الحرارة المنخفضة في الشتاء السابق. منذ صيف عام 2013، كان يُنظر محليًا إلى تغيير في نمط الرياح بالتزامن مع عدم وجود ميدوسا في المياه الساحلية. يهدف هذا العمل إلى تحليل ما إذا كان نمط الرياح ودرجة حرارة سطح البحر (SST) قد أظهر تغييرًا قابلاً للقياس على طول الفترة 2008-2015 وتقييم ما إذا كان هذا التغيير يمكن أن يرتبط بالتغيرات الملحوظة في نمط حدوث O. sambaquiensis. تم تحليل بيانات الرياح و SST في الفترات المرتفعة (2008-2012) والمنخفضة (2013-2015)، بناءً على وسائل الإعلام والملاحظات الخاصة. تم اكتشاف تغيير كبير في نمط الرياح في مونتي هيرموسو. انخفضت سرعة الرياح من 6.3 متر مربع في عام 2008 إلى 2.4 متر مربع في عام 2015 وزادت الهدوء والرياح الخفيفة بأكثر من 44.2 و 7.5 ٪ على التوالي. ينطوي هذا التغيير على عائق أمام الصعود الساحلي، وهي العملية الفيزيائية التي تصل بها الميدوسا إلى الساحل، وترتبط بالرياح المستمرة (10 ساعات أو أكثر) من غرب وشرق أوروبا التي تهب عند ≥ 3.3 متر مربع -1. وفقًا لذلك، في صيف عام 2008 (فترة حدوث ارتفاع في المتوسط)، تم اكتشاف 45 يومًا من ارتفاع المياه الساحلية على النقيض من 8 أيام فقط في صيف عام 2015 (فترة غياب المتوسط). كما تم العثور على حالات شاذة إيجابية في التوقيت الصيفي خلال فترة 8 سنوات، مما يشير إلى اتجاه متزايد قدره 0.4 درجة مئوية. من المحتمل أن تكون درجات الحرارة الأعلى من المعتاد خلال فصول الشتاء الأخيرة مؤثرة سلبًا على تكاثر السليلة. تُظهر نتائجنا تغيرًا بيئيًا في النظام البيئي لمونتي هيرموسو وقد تفسر، جزئيًا، انخفاض حدوث O. sambaquiensis في الصيف الأخير. تعد معرفة العوامل التي تنظم حدوث O. sambaquiensis أمرًا أساسيًا لوضع خطة إدارة ساحلية و/أو لتحديد استراتيجيات التكيف الأولى.

Scyphozoan medusae are critical components of marine ecosystems; however, our knowledge on their population dynamics and life history needed to understand their role on ecosystem functioning is relatively scarce. We used data from fish-stock assessment cruises (1993–2013), artisanal fisheries and stranding events (2006–2007), to assess spatio-temporal variation in biomass, growth and reproduction, of a large and abundant scyphomedusae (Lychnorhiza lucerna) in a productive estuarine ecosystem (Río de la Plata Estuary, RLPE) (35°S-57°W) from the Southwestern Atlantic Ocean. Medusae consisted of sexually mature individuals only, occurring consistently during austral summer. Medusae biomass displayed a patchy distribution, concentrating mainly in two geographically different hot-spots associated to a frontal feature (turbidity front) of the RLPE. Individual size, relative fecundity, and degree of gonad development varied significantly between hot-spots. Biomass varied greatly among years. Bell diameter, wet weight, and percentage of fully developed oocytes increased during the first half of the summer but decreased during the second half of it. Our results suggest high predictability of the period of occurrence and the distribution of L. lucerna in the RLPE. Physical mechanisms of medusa aggregation, potential effects of medusae on zooplankton dynamics, fisheries production, and conservation of sea turtles, as well as their potential for the development of a local jellyfish fishery, are here discussed. This work provides novel information on patterns of distribution, growth and development of L. lucerna medusae, which can help to enhance our understanding of the role of large medusae on ecosystem functioning of marine ecosystems worldwide.
