A trophodynamics model is used to estimate annual plankton and fish production for the southern British Columbia continental shelf during 1985–89. The model describes the feeding interactions among diatoms, copepods, euphausiids, juvenile and adult Pacific herring (Clupea pallasi), Pacific hake (Mer...
