Description

This species grows to 1.2 cm and has a rotund body shape which is translucent and has a light brown colour. One of the most prominent features of this species is the very large, green eyes. These occupy the entire sides of the head, which is short and rounded. Both the head and thorax are more plump than the abdomen, especially in females. The gnathopods are simple.[4] It has filiform antennae which are very short in females and long in males.[4] It has a laterally and dorsally rounded pereion which is deep and slightly laterally compressed.

Distribution

Hyperia galba is very widespread in the North Sea.[5]

Habitat

This species lives among jellyfish including those in the genera Rhizostoma and Aurelia, as well as others within the class scyphozoa.

gollark: There were also fewer of them working on problems like this than we have now, and they may have missed retrospectively-obvious things.
gollark: Tradition is *a* reason to think something might be better, but a fairly weak one, since the people of the past had rather different values, and not tools like computer simulations or more recent mathematical analyses of voting systems.
gollark: Also, yes, the context is quite different so reasons from then may not apply.
gollark: It's also possible that more complex systems may have been impractical before computers came along, although that doesn't apply to, say, approval voting.
gollark: First-past-the-post is the simplest and most obvious thing you're likely to imagine if you want people to "vote for things", and it's entirely possible people didn't look too hard.
