Onderzoeksgroep Mariene Biologie (UGent-MARBIOL), more Availability: Restricted The data are withheld from general circulation and disclosure but access may be obtained on a case-by-case basis through negotiation Notes: Restrictions available at contact person Description Predatory fish were sampled along the salinity gradient of the Westerschelde and their stomach contents were compared in a quantitative and a qualitative manner. The density and biomass of macrobenthos, being the prey of these fish, was recorded.
