Can any of you comment on whether there are more jellyfish in the Bay  
of Fundy this year than usual?  Decades ago I was on one of two  
birding/whale-watching fishing boats (hired) in a year when there  
were oodles of PURPLE JELLYFISH?? (Pelagia??) (from Cape Cod south,   
normally).  Normally I think leatherbacks (and ocean sunfish, too)  
feed mostly on lion's-mane jellyfish?  Just this past Sunday there  
were lots of moon jellyfish along the waterfront in Halifax.

Cheers from Jim in Wolfville
