Jellyfish abundance sampling along the cruise route. Coloured circles are different jellyfish species: green Aurelia; red Chrysaora hysoscella; blue Cyanea lamarckii; purple Cyanea capillata and black Rhizostoma pulmo. The size of the circles is proportional to the log jellyfish count, varying between 0 and 9. The cruise track is given by the blue lines; observations the green line; the red line shows the aerial survey flight path, and the yellow line is a zone identified by previous aerial surveys as a jellyfish ‘hotspot’.
