Jellyfish blooms are rapid and substantial increases in biomass with major ecological and socioeconomic impacts. While increasing attention has been paid to understanding drivers of bloom initiation and production, much less is known about jellyfish swimming behaviour and trajectories. Recent studies have shown that jellyfish are not always passive drifters and can actively adjust their displacement (e.g. searching for food or avoiding being stranded). Using a combination of observatory techniques such as real-time electronic tagging, control drifters and aerial drone footage, individual trajectories within a jellyfish patch were explored to better understand behaviour at small spatial and temporal scales.
