| Human activities affect continental shelves, especially due to the harvest of living marine resources. Understanding their functioning and dynamics has become a growing concern in recent decades, especially through use of trophic modelling approaches. Studying the feeding ecology of key component species also improves this understanding by providing accurate information on trophic processes, particularly the dependence on trophic pathways. This study focuses on the trophic ecology of four large gadiforms (cod, haddock, whiting and hake) found on the continental shelf of the Celtic Sea. The study combines information on recently ingested prey (gut content analysis) and a more integrated indicator of food sources (stable isotope analysis). Two size classes... |

| Coastal and estuarine habitats function as nurseries for many commercial marine species. In these ecosystems, the hypothesis that food supply limits juvenile fish density and survival has been widely debated. Direct approaches that test this hypothesis in temperate soft-bottom nurseries are data-intensive as they rely on beam trawl to collect juvenile fish and grab or core to collect their prey within the macrobenthic community. Thus, application has often been limited to a few sampling stations and temporal snapshots. However, scientific beam trawl surveys, conducted periodically in nurseries, sample, besides juvenile fish, benthic invertebrates including potential prey species. Using data collected solely from beam trawl surveys, we tested whether food... |
