The decline in macrophytes was further compounded by overfishing during the 1970s, while the invasive ctenophore Mnemiopsis reduced the biomass of copepods and other zooplankton in the late 1980s.

- Any of various marine animals of the phylum Ctenophora, having lucent, mucilaginous bodies bearing eight rows of comblike cilia used for swimming
- (Ctenophores) The Phylum which contains the Sea Gooseberries or Comb Jellies.
- (Ctenophores) Phylum (Ctenophora) of transparent planktonic animals that are spherical or cylindrical in shape with rows of cilia. Include comb jellies.*
- Radially symmetric diploblastic animal also known as comb jelly. Although superficially similar to cnidarians (aka coelenterates) such as jellyfish, their phylogenetic affinities are uncertain. (That is, it is unclear how they are related to other animals.)
- A comb jelly, a transparent gelatinous planktonic animal. Comb jellies have rows of cilia that look like combs. Unlike sea nettles and other jellyfish, comb jellies do not have stinging cells.
- Member of a major animal phylum of solitary gelatinous marine animals commonly called comb jellies or sea gooseberries (phylum Ctenophora). Members of this group have rows of small combs composed of cilia that are used for locomotion.
