Description
Native to the North Atlantic, compass jellyfish (Chrysaora hysoscella) is a carnivorous species noted for the radial symmetry on its bell. With the advent of climate change, this species' range is expanding northward with adverse effects on fish populations there (and the human communities that depend on them). It has few natural predators.
