Short-term laboratory experiments were carried out to investigate t h ~ effect of water temperature on somatic growth rate of the jellyfish Aurehd aurita (L.). Medusae of A. ac~rita (2.24 to 32.0 g wet weight) with a n initial exccss food supply were kept at 1 of 4 temperatures (5.1, 10.0, 16.4 and 19.0°C). Daily weight-specific growth rate (G] for each indlv~dual niedusa was calculatcrl from growth of the subumbrellar area, w h ~ c h was estimated from image cinal).sis of video recorded medusae. Average value of G increased sign~ficantly with temperature, and 1dn9t.d fro111 0.053 cl ' dt 5°C to 0 15 d. ' at 16.5"C. The laboratory results were compared to in situ growth ldtes calculated from field ohs+-rvations of change in size of medusae from (;ullmarsfjorden, t\.cstern Sweden, 1993 to 1996. Specific growth rates in situ ranged from 0.11 to 0.16 d.'

This is suggested to be due to more energy being allocated to reproduction than somatic growth, food shortage, or a genetically determined cessation of somatic growth after reproduction.
