When the inflow of nutrient salts from land becomes excessive, non-diatom phytoplankton in place of diatoms and micro zooplankton that feed on it increase and unfastidious jellyfish that feed on micro zooplankton multiply.

It will take a great deal of effort to improve eutrophication and bring the Seto Inland Sea back into a sea of anchovies.
