This table provides Ecopath model estimates of electivity, which is a selection index that describes a predator’s preference for prey. Electivity ranges from -1 (total avoidance of a prey) to 1 (total preference for a prey), with values of 0 indicative that a prey is taken in proportion to its abundance in the ecosystem.
