Abstract
A stauromedusan Haliclystus antarcticus was found to be common in inte rtidal and shallow subtidal waters on the shores of subantarctic South Georgia. Evidence is presented to show that the medusae eat both plan ktonic and benthic prey. In turn, the medusae are preyed upon by a you ng fish, Notothenia rossii.
