Jellyfish fisheries in Southeast Asia and the ecology of harvested species

虽然水母的大量繁殖给人类活动带来了各种负面影响，但其中一些品种却被人类利用为食物。本研究旨在了解东南亚海蜇渔业及所捕捞海蜇的种群动态、生命周期、食性、共生体等生物学和生态学特征。在东南亚三国开展了两项国际合作研究(1)水母渔业的详细信息和(2)目标物种的生物学和生态学。研究期间共发表论文7篇，发表报告29篇，出版专著3部，获得国际专利2项（正在申请中）。

While jellyfish bloom has brought various negative effects on human activities, some of the blooming species have utilized as foods for human. This study aims to clarify the jellyfish fisheries in the Southeast Asia and the biology and ecology of harvested jellyfish species, such as population dynamics, life cycle, food habits, and symbionts. International collaborative studies have carried out on two subjects, (1) the detailed information of jellyfish fisheries and (2) biology and ecology of target species, in the 3 countries in the Southeast Asia. Seven papers, 29 presentations, 3 books, and 2 international patents (pending) have been produced as scientific outputs during the research periods.
