| Abstract |
"BECAUSE investigates the quantitative role of species interactions as an essential first step towards the implementation of the ecosystem approach into fisheries management. The focus is on simple but critical interactions in the upper trophic levels of marine food webs. This refers specifically to the interactions between exploited prey fish populations, exploited fish predators and wild life such as sea birds and marine mammals dependent on the same prey fish populations.
The interactions targeted for investigation are sandeel/predator fish, Nephrops (Norwegian lobster)/cod, capelin/cod, herring/cod, sprat/cod, hake/prey fish, as well as hake and cod cannibalism. These interactions will be studied in 5 different case studies:
- Nordic Seas
- North Sea
- Baltic Sea
- Iberian Shelf/Bay of Biscay
- Mediterranean Sea.
