Known from Sooke Inlet (Ref. 3017). Also found in Roscoe Bay (Ref. 7680): medusae remained in the bay throughout the year; there was no major visible mortality in the adult population during the two year observation period; medusae appear to be lost from the bay as a result of tidal flushing; it is argued that in Roscoe Bay Aurelia labiata medusae live for more than one year and that up to 40% of the adult medusae may be two years of age or older (Ref. 1663). C: Refs. 1663, 3017, 93817, 93875; R: Ref. 94194. |
