Layman Ciencias de la Tierra Benthic mutualism facilitation heterotrophy human impacts Anthropogenic disturbances may drive jellyfish blooms, and previous studies have suggested this is the case for upsidedown jellyfish (Cassiopea xamachana). Cassiopea were found to have higher mean zooxanthellae densities in human-impacted areas on Abaco Island, The Bahamas, suggesting that nutrient loading in impacted sites may be one factor driving zooxanthellate jellyfish blooms. Gut contents from Cassiopea medusae were positively correlated to zooxanthellae densities, indicating that heterotrophically-derived nutrition may be an important factor in facilitating increased zooxanthellae population densities.
