Jelly-falls can lead zones around jelly-falls to become hypoxic and inhospitable to larger scavengers. Researching jelly-falls relies on direct observational data such as video, photography, or benthic trawls. This means that jelly-falls are not always observed in the time period in which they exist. Because jelly-falls can be fully processed and degraded within a number of hours by scavengers and the fact that some jelly-falls will not sink below 500m in tropical and subtropical waters, the importance and prevalence of jelly-falls may be underestimated. Jelly-falls Jelly-falls are marine carbon cycling events whereby gelatinous zooplankton sink to the seafloor and enhance carbon
