Now that Tweety (the Greenpeace helicopter) is no longer on stand-by the marine debris sampling device, aka the Yellow Thing, is back in action. Today's trawl netted a selection of krill, copepods, jeuvenile fish and this blue bottle jellyfish.

i can't feel sorry for that blue bottle - i've been stung by them too many times, though i can't see it's long blue threads that do the stinging. I'm enjoying your pictures Alex, this picture of the day idea is working well.
