Description
Summary:The food of Champsocephalus gunnari caught off South Georgia and Kerguelen lslands consisted almost exclusively of krill (Euphausia superba Dana) with a certain amount of the amphipod Parathemisto gaudichaudi (Guerin). A mean length of prey picked out from stomachs of Ch. gunnari off Kerguelen was much lower than that found for the prey in stomachs of the species off South Georgia.
