Photographic and trap data obtained from the eastern North Atlantic Ocean in 1981 and 1978, respectively, have been combined to document the response of abyssal lysianassid amphipods to large food falls, and the predation on these amphipods by the fish Paraliparis bathybius. The use of a new camera/current meter system has demonstrated that overall numbers of amphipods and presence of fish were related to tidal currents. Species of Paralicella and Orchomene were the most abundant amphipods, and occurred in peak numbers during periods of low current velocity. Variation in abundance of Eurythenes gryllus, a larger species, which occurred in smaller numbers, was apparently not related to tidal currents. Paraliparis bathybius were present only during flood tides.
