| arctic skate amblyraja hyperborea preys on remarkably large glacial eelpouts lycodes frigidus. | during scientific surveys on the continental slopes north-west of spitsbergen and off north-east greenland (c. 600 and 1000 m depths), two female arctic skates amblyraja hyperborea were caught while swallowing extraordinary large individuals of glacial eelpout lycodes frigidus. the total length (lt) of the prey constituted 50 and 80% of the lt of the skates, which reveal that a. hyperborea are capable predators of fishes of surprisingly large relative size. | 2015 | 25413102 |
