Thousands (likely millions) of Eutonina indicans hydromedusae came in from the Pacific Ocean in the last few days, here caught in an eddy beside the dock, with especially lots of the spherical ctenophore Pleurobrachia bachei and a large Bolinopsis microptera. Most of the white dots are copepods, also suddenly very abundant near the surface.
