California Current Trophic Database (CCTD) Citable as data publication Bizzarro, J.; Dewitt, L.; Wells, B.; Curtis, A.; Santora, J.; Field, J.; NOAA Southwest Fisheries Science Center: United States; (2023): California Current Trophic Database (CCTD). Marine Data Archive. https://doi.org/10.14284/597 Contact: Bizzarro, Joseph Availability:  This dataset is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution 4.0 International License.Description The California Current Trophic Database (CCTD) consists of 8 tables (Data Sources, Data Collection, Predator Information, Prey Composition, Prey Size, Predator Taxonomy, Prey Taxonomy, Glossary) and contains diet composition data, including stomach and scat samples, obtained from 105,694 individual predators from 143 taxa collected throughout the California Current Large Marine Ecosystem (CCLME). more Predator taxa consist of squids (n=5), elasmobranchs (n=13), bony fishes (n=118), and marine mammals (n=7). Extensive time series are available for some predators (e.g., California Sea Lion, Pacific Hake, Chinook Salmon). The CCTD represents the largest compilation of raw trophic data within the CCLME, allowing for more refined analyses and modeling studies within this region. Our intention is to further augment and periodically update the dataset as additional historical or contemporary data become available to increase its utility and impact.
