Compilation of stomach content data for mesopelagic fish and predator species...
Stomach contents analysis is a standard dietary assessment method that potentially enables quantifying diet components with high taxonomic resolution. We compiled diet... -
Compilation of fatty acid composition of marine biota from the central and No...
Fatty acid (FA) composition has increasingly been used to estimate the dietary preference of marine organisms. Specific fatty acids and fatty acid ratios serve as trophic... -
Compilation of diet proportions of mesopelagic fish from the central and Nort...
Quantitative data on diet composition is key to understand prey–predator interactions and to parameterize ecosystem models. We compiled estimates of diet proportions from 26... -
