Western Atlantic midwater hydrozoan and scyphozoan medusae: in situ studies using manned submersibles
Little is known about the biology and ecology of mesopelagic medusae. In part, this is because midwater trawls are used to collect fragile medusae and other gelatinous macroplankton. Additionally, nets cannot provide data on behavior and on biotic associations. Herein, in situ observations on northw...
