Description
Summary:Twenty Paralepis specimens were taken from the stomachs of 10 Atlantic salmon (Salmo salar L.) caught by drift net at seven fishing stations in the Davis Strait and Labrador Sea. Eleven of the 20 specimens were identified as Paralepis coregonoides borealis Reinhardt on the basis of vertebral counts, and the remainder are tentatively assigned to this species. These are the first records of adult specimens from the Davis Strait, though a few have been recorded from the west coast of Greenland.
