Description The biometry and seasonal size distribution of the medusae, Crambionella annandalei and
Chrysaora spp. were investigated from fortnightly
gillnet landings between January 2017 and December
2018 along the West coast of the Bay of Bengal.
Although both taxa exhibited strong patterns of
seasonality in abundance and growth, being commonest and smallest in summer, C. annandalei were
largely absent in the monsoon and post-monsoon
seasons, while Chrysaora spp. could be recorded
throughout the year in a variety of size groups. There
was a strong cohesion in pattern between years,
suggesting that the monsoon impacts populations of
both species, albeit in slightly different ways. We
provide rare, field-based measurements of growth for
both species that are in broad agreement with the data
published for similar taxa elsewhere: our length–
weight data provide useful contributions to baseline
information.
