Biomass-Weighted Fish Functional Feeding Traits for the Northeast Atlantic (1997-2020) Citation Murray et al (2025). Biomass-Weighted Fish Functional Feeding Traits for the Northeast Atlantic. (1997-2020). Integrated data products created under the European Marine Observation Data Network (EMODnet) Biology project CINEA/EMFAF/2022/3.5.2/SI2.895681, funded by the European Union under Regulation (EU) No 508/2014 of the European Parliament and of the Council of 15 May 2014 on the European Maritime and Fisheries Fund. https://marineinfo.org/doc/dataset/8774 Contact: Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description This product enables users to assess spatial and temporal change in fish functional feeding traits across the northeast Atlantic shelf seas. Values are based on non-metric multidimensional axis scores, weighted by biomass observed in otter trawl surveys. moreThis product is the result of collating and analyzing fish stomach contents data from the North Atlantic and Arctic Oceans to classify fish into feeding guilds. The feeding guilds identified include planktivores, benthivores, bentho-piscivores, and piscivores. Non-metric multidimensional scaling (NMDS) analysis was used to provide a more nuanced understanding of different predator feeding traits in relation to others. The NMDS analysis presents axis scores that offer a bounded data perspective, as opposed to categorical, of different predator feeding traits. This analysis is part of the process to classify feeding guilds based on predator stomach contents data.
