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... |
