Spatial distribution of predator/prey interactions in the Scotia Sea: implications for measuring predator/fisheries overlap
Abstract: The measurement of spatial overlap between predators and fisheries exploiting a common ... prey source is dependent upon the measurement scale used and the use of inappropriate scales may ... provide misleading results. Previous assessments of the level of overlap between predators and fisheries ... for Antarctic krill Euphausia superba in the South Shetland Islands have used different measurement ...
