Linking pelagic food web and its top predators: bird and prey fish sampling - Westbanks [Linken van het pelagische voedselweb en de toppredatoren: bemonsteren van vogels en prooivissen - Westbanks] Citation Instituut voor Natuur- en Bosonderzoek- Belgium. Linking pelagic food web and its top predators: bird and prey fish sampling - Westbanks - SSD - Belgian Science Policy. http://www.vliz.be/projects/westbanks/westbanks.php?module=dataset&dasid=1261. https://marineinfo.org/doc/dataset/1261 Availability: ![]() Description Birds (terns) and prey fish are sampled at several locations along the Belgian coast. Fish are counted and measured. Stomach content analyses and length measurements are performed on seabirds. The results are recorded in this database.
