Abstract
Three specimens of Cryptopsaras couesi have been recorded from Norwegian waters, one in 1992, one in 1993 and one in 1995. These are the first records east of the Shetland-Faroe Channel, although the species is recorded regularly from west and northwest Icelandic waters. Two of the specimens were taken in commercial fish trawls at depths of 450 to 600 m along the Norwegian continental slope and one specimen at Bear Island.
