| Comments | Deacon and Haskell (1967) studied C. sowerbyi in Lake Mead 25 Oct 1962 - 25 Jan 1963 and noted the following: medusa 1st appeared on June of 1962, became abundant in late Sept and disappeared the end of Jan 1963. They surmised that water temps below 60 degrees Fahrenheit correlated with C. sowerbyi disappearance. |
