* » Abstract |
The NEFSC Food Habits Database has two major sources of data. The first, and most extensive, is the standard NEFSC Bottom Trawl Surveys Program. During these surveys, food habits data are collected for a variety of species. Additionally, "process-oriented" cruises are conducted periodically to address specific questions related to the feeding ecology of the fish in the ecosystem. Both sources provide primarily stomach content information; composition, total and individual prey weights or volumes, and length of prey. Additional information associated with each fish predator is also collected. Other databases encompass the prey fields of these fish, and include zooplankton, ichthyoplankton, and benthic surveys. |
* Purpose |
The surveys were designed to monitor trends in abundance and distribution and to provide data and samples to study the ecology of the large number of fish and invertebrate species inhabiting the northeast US continental shelf. |

Conceptual Consistency | |
» Quality Control Procedures Employed |
The FHDBS data undergo a 15-point data quality assurance check conducted by experienced personnel of the Food Web Dynamics Program. These checks range from ensuring the final data are complete (e.g. prey percentages sum to 100%, eliminate duplicate data, and all necessary fields are populated) to more complex quality assurance in the form of accurate prey selection and prey taxonomy, and other biological constraints (e.g. size of prey versus predator size, and volume or weight of prey versus weight of predator). |
