Use of micronekton data and models to improve ecology of top predators
Typically, studies that focus on mid-to-high trophic-level species, such as fish and marine mammals, analyse data collected using instruments designed specifically to observe only a partial aspect of a single or small group or related species. For instance, mid-trophic level mesopelagic (200 to 1,00...

Typically, studies that focus on mid-to-high trophic-level species, such as fish and marine mammals, analyse data collected using instruments designed specifically to observe only a partial aspect of a single or small group or related species. For instance, mid-trophic level mesopelagic (200 to 1,000 m) organisms, which form deep scattering layers (DSLs), can be observed using echosounders, but these instruments do not enable elucidation of food web structure. Recent developments in data collection, storage and accessibility (via online data centres and project portals), have enabled observations collected by a wide range of instruments to be integrated and analysed concurrently.
