Introduced species impact in United States (Nation) : Consumes native species (predator or herbivore) [details]Introduced species remark United States part of the North Pacific Ocean (Marine Region) Overall, abundance and distribution of medusae of these three hydrozoans in Suisun Marsh depended on seasonal stability of environmental conditions that favored blooms. While harmful effects have yet to be demonstrated, they could become more of a problem as both sea level and water temperatures rise, especially given the combined range of environmental conditions at which the three species occur.
