Beroe, Mitrocoma, fewer nettles off Pebble Beach
Description and Comments
Observed plenty of "oven mit" ctenophores, Beroe forskalii and cross jellies, Mitrocoma cellularia. Chrysaora fuscescens was present, but most intact individuals were in front of the aquarium and off Lover's Point. Out off Pt. Joe the sea nettles were all beat up and torn apart. Few Beroe cucumis and misc. hydrozoans were observed as well. Liriope tetraphylla was abundant in the plankton tow.

Tons of Mitrocoma mid-bay
Tons of Mitrocoma mid-bay yesterday, all the way from the surface to at least 700 meters. No scyphozoans though.
