Thirty-three species of gelatinous predators (medusae and ctenophores) were collected in the uppermost 25 m of Saanich Inlet over 3 spring seasons. Of these, 6 species (5 hydromedusae: Aequorea victoria, Aglantha digitale, Mitrocoma cellularia, Phialidium gregarium, and Phialidium lomae; and 1 ctenophore: Pleurobrachia bachei) cornpnsed more than 90 O/O of the total gelatinous predator biomass. P. bachei comprised 40 % of the total dry weight of gelatinous predators, with peak standlng stocks reaching 100 mg DW m-3 (-5 mg C m-3). Phialidium spp, formed 20 % of the total dry weight, with P. gregarium reaching a maxlmum value at 1 station of about 200 mg DW m-3 (-20 mg C m-3). Total gelatinous predator bionlass, at a single stabon, reached nearly 400 mg DW m-3 (-30 mg C m-3) in late May. A conservative estimate of net yearly production in the upper 25 m is 6 to 10 mg C m-J. Standing stocks of individual species had doubling times of 5 to 17 d . Food supply (mainly the abundance of euphausiid eggs), coupled with temperature, were probably the pnmary factors regulating growth and production.
