Investigations of food spectrum and daily ration of the jellyfish, Aurelia aurita l., in the Northwestern Black See in October 2010 were carried out. Unicellular algae (32%), copepods (24%) and chaetognaths (20%) prevailed in biomass in the jellyfish diet in the shelf areas, while copepods exclusively (77 %) were dominating in the open see. Daily ration of medusa population with a biomass 80 – 220 g m-2 could achieve in autumn 19 – 27 mg m-2, or 0.8 – 2.7 % in energy values versus body energy content. The rate of zooplankton eating out was insufficient to compensate metabolic demands of this species (4 – 6 % day-1 – by the energy equivalent). Eating daily up to 4% of mesoplankton production, this species weakly influenced planktonic community of the sea during the autumn period when the observations were conducted.
