203 Chrysaora melanaster samples were collected for diet analyses during the Alaska Fisheries Science Center BASIS surveys in southeast Bering Sea in August-September 2014, 2015 and 2016, aboard the NOAA ship Oscar Dyson. Diet samples were processed by Auke Bay Laboratories and University of Alaska. Upon collection, individual jellyfish were weighed and measured, and all gut and appendage contents were immediately preserved in 5-10% formalin in separate containers. Data are presented as six CSV files including station data, fish diet data, oceanography and jellyfish diet data.
