Lots of big Aurelia

Description and Comments

Dozens of moon jellies (Aurelia labiata) around Indian Arm. Highest concentrations near Jug Island and Cozy Cove but there are individuals almost everywhere in the Arm. Most are quite large (BD>20cm). Spent several hours on the water over the last 2 days and saw hundreds of Aurelia but only 2 lion's manes (Cyanea capillata).
