Moon jellyfish abundance is the highest when bottom dissolved oxygen concentration is lower than 2.0 mg L −1. [8] Moon jellyfish show a strong tolerance to low DO conditions, which is why their population is still relatively high during the summer. Generally, hypoxia causes species to move from the oxygen depleted zone, but this is not the ...

Aurelia labiata is a species of moon jellyfish. It is a cnidarian in the family Ulmaridae. [1] It is typically larger than Aurelia aurita,[2] with individuals document up to 45 cm (18 in). [3] However, much of its size range overlaps with A. aurita (up to 40 cm (16 in)), making size an imperfect diagnostic tool.
