Abstract
Scyphozoan jellyfish are preyed on by 11 species of birds in the Bering Sea: Fulmarus glacialis, Puffinus griseus, Puffinus tenuirostris, Oceanodroma furcata, Larus hyperboreus, Rissa tridactyla, Rissa brevirostris, Uria aalge, Uria lomvia, Cyclorrhynchus psittacula, and Aethia cristatella. Parasitic amphipods on scyphomedusae also contribute to avian diets.Keywords
