Large numbers of the ctenophore were reported by many participants of the “Medusa Project”. The high concentrations of M. leidyi along the Spanish coast, together with its blooms earlier this year in Israel, suggests establishment in the Mediterranean Sea. This is of great concern because of the well-known effects of M. leidyi on marine ecosystems and the consequences for commercial fisheries
