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).Medicine, Health and Life SciencesdietChimaera monstrosaEtmopterus spinaxpredatorEnglishVilas, D., Coll, M., Pedersen, T., Corrales, X., Filbee-Dexter, K., Pedersen, M.
