| Title: | Catostylus mosaicus, Southeast Queensland, Australia, 2002-2010 |
| Identifier: | Pitt.22 |
| Abstract: |
Observations of the presence / absence of jellyfish (Catostylus mosaicus) were recorded during the routine Ecosystem Health Monitoring Program conducted by the Queensland Department of Environment and Resource Management. More than 200 estuarine and coastal sites are monitored monthly for water quality (including chlorophyll, nutrients, turbidity (secchi depth and NTU), salinity, conductivity, temperature, dissolved oxygen) within southeast Queensland. At each site the presence or absence of jellyfish was recorded. Sites where salinity <15ppt were removed from the data set as jellyfish are unlikely to occur in low salinity water.

|
Description:
|
Visual observation
The presence or absence of jellyfish is recorded from visual observations taken from a boat
|
|
Sampling Area And Frequency:
|
Presence or absence of jellyfish was recorded monthly at >200 coastal and estuarine sites in southeast Queensland, Australia. Sites where salinity is <15ppt were removed from the data set as jellyfish rarely occur in low salinity water.
