Diet data for the fish species Rabbitfish (Chimaera monstrosa) and Velvet belly (Etmopterus spinax) were sampled from Malangen fjord in Troms County, Norway, during 2017. C. monstrosa and E. spinax were sampled using a modified shrimp trawl (sampling otter trawl) at depth of 450 m (17.89 oE, 69.60 oN) by the research vessel Johan Ruud at UiT The Arctic University of Norway. A total of 67 stomachs from C. monstrosa were sampled on 2017-04-26 (n = 11), 2017-05-02 (n = 11), 2017-05-03 (n = 9), 2017-05-04 (n = 10), 2017-05-08 (n = 10) and 2017-10-26 (n = 15). A total of 50 stomachs of E. spinax were sampled on 2017-04-26 (n = 5), 2017-05-02 (n = 10), 2017-05-03 (n = 10), 2017-05-04 (n = 10) and 2017-10-26 (n = 15).
