It is believed to have been the main cause of decline in these waters after dissection confirmed its stomach contents had large quantities of the local fish eggs and larvae.

Members of Lobata are carnivores and are major predators of planktonic organisms such as copepods and fish larvae. [8] By continuously pumping water into its body cavity, comb jellies are able to trap small prey on adhesive cells, known as colloblast, which are found on the tentacles and on the underside of their lobes.
