all cases these were taken tail first. Notice this reversal of the usual

Professor Ward: In connection with this question it seems rather 

 odd that such a slow creature as the jellyfish should be able to capture 

 Si fish by approaching it from behind. I should think it doubtful that 

 it could do so under ordinary conditions, though it might if the fish 

 were weakened. Professor Prince has alluded to the fact that fishes 

 have been seen sheltered by jelly-fishes. Here on the northern coast the 

 jellyfish (Aurelia) seem almost constantly to have young haddock 

 associated with them. I think these fishes were truly sheltered and 

 in no danger of being eaten. Jellyfishes also furnish food for fishes.
