Combining scientific and fishers' knowledge to co-create indicators of food web structure and function
In this study, we describe the approach taken by the International Council for the Exploration of the Seas Irish Sea benchmark working group (WKIrish), to co-create diet information for six commercial species using fishers’ and scientists knowledge and incorporate it into an existing Ecopath food we...
