Towing and scooping methods were used for sample collection using a fishing boat cruising at the speed of approximately 2.5 nautical knots during neap tide. The scooping method used visual observation to detect jellyfish on the water surface. Meanwhile towing method required a custom-made trawl towed behind the boat for submerged jellyfish sample.
