A new compilation of stomach content data for commercially important pelagic fish species in the northeast Atlantic
There is increasing demand for information on predator–prey interactions in the ocean as a result of legislative commitments aimed at achieving sustainable exploitation. However, comprehensive data sets are lacking for many fish species and this has hampered development of multispecies fisheries mod...
