Cornetfish and Many-ribbed Jellyfish

Don't see these many-ribbed jellyfish all year, and then today, Second Beach is littered with them washed ashore.

 
Then, two weekends ago, during the last Norman Bird Sanctuary public seine of the year at Third Beach, Tess and I were able to pull up this wild fish- a blue-spotted cornetfish. We got it over to Salve Regina University's biology lab fish tank straightaway.
 
Notice the scup and the Northern kingfish in the background. We seined them as well.
 
 
. Sorry about the poor photography.
