Project Description

Understanding predator aggregation patterns in relation to marine productivity is critical in designing
ecosystem-level conservation plans for protecting marine habitats and species. We will develop a new
approach to measure prey abundance and availability in the marine ecosystem for the management of resources of top-predators. This will be of specific benefit in areas where a strong need exists for
conservation of prey species with economic importance too low to justify expensive at-sea research.
