The role of capelin (Mallotus villosus) in the foodweb of the Barents Sea
Based on Barents Sea fish stomach content data for the years 1984–2000, the role of capelin, Mallotus villosus (Müller), as prey for various fish predators is evaluated. Capelin are consumed by more than 20 fish species, both commercial and non-target. Their importance to different length-classes of...
