Abstract
Studies were made on the content of 278 stomachs of Parachaenichthys georgianus from the region of South Georgia and 30 stomachs of Parachaenichthys charcoti from the region of South Shetlands. Small P. georgianus fed mostly on Mysidacea, medium-sized on shrimps and fishes, large specimens on fishes. P. charcoti fed on fishes, Mysidacea and Euphausiacea.
