The snailfish family Liparididae was well represented in bottom trawl hauls (205–370 m) from the Spitsbergen area, withLiparis gibbusbeing the dominant species.Careproctus reinhardtiwas less numerous. The present paper is based on 539 specimens ofC. gibbus(size range 6–25cm) and 120 specimens ofL. reinhardti(size range 5–26 cm). Both species showed a rather similar size and age distribution. The stomach contents reveal that both snailfish species feed both benthically and pelagically. Crustaceans, especially amphipods and decapods, were the most common prey items. With increasing size of the fish, the decapodPandalus borealisbecomes more important, particularly forL. gibbus. JuvenileLiparis(1.3–4.3 cm in length) were found pelagically (35–200 m), and their diet mainly consisted of copepods and young hyperiid
