Quantitative determinations of chemical composition and oxygen consumption rates were made for 7 species of gelatinous zooplankton (ctenophores and medusae) from midwater and benthic boundary layer habitats off Cape Hatteras, North Carolina. USA. Although there were no apparent trends in chemical composition with depth of occurrence, midwater species were generally less robust, in terms of protein and lipid content, than those from benthopelagic depths. These differences in chemical compositions between midwater and benthopelagic species are probably related to factors associated with swimming behaviors required for prey capture and predator avoidance.
