Individual-based modeling of feeding ecology and prey selection of larval cod on Georges Bank ...
Understanding larval fish survival dynamics is essential to determining variability in future adult population structure. Realistic modeling of larval fish feeding ecology depends on incorporating both the biotic and abiotic conditions that affect predator–prey interactions. We used an individual-ba...
