Comb-jelly

Comb-jellies (Ctenophoræ).

The body of the comb-jelly is soft like that of the jellyfish, but the plan of structure and the organs are somewhat different.

This chapter explores the economic consequences of one such invasion with significant impacts on a valuable resident species: the introduction of the ctenophore (comb-jelly) Mnemiopsis leidyi in the Black Sea and its effects on the commercial anchovy (Engraulis encrasicolus) fishery.
