C-IMAGE researchers out of the University of South Florida with colleagues from the Florida Fish and Wildlife Conservation Commission looked at fish diet for two non-commercially relevant species in the Gulf of Mexico to produce Maximum Liklihood Estimates (MLEs). \u00a0MLEs describe how much a specific prey item constitutes a predator&#8217;s diet. \u00a0These values are used to produce a food web diagram that is ultimately used to fine tune the Atlantis ecosystem model.<\/p>\n<p>Ref:\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0304380014001860\" style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; color: #4571a4; opacity: 0.8; font-family: sans-serif; line-height: 18px;\">Masi, M., Ainsworth, C., Chagris, D.\u00a0A Probabilistic Representation of Fish Diet Compositions from Multiple Data Sources: A Gulf of Mexico Case Study, Ecological Modeling, 284, 60-74, 2014.<em style=\"margin: 0px; padding: 0px; font-weight: inherit;\"><br \/><\/em><\/a><\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A probabalistic representation of fish diet compositions from multiple data sources: A Gulf of Mexico case study Ecosystem models can be extremely useful tools for ocean resource managers to determine how commercial fisheries can respond to a specific management strategy.&hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":0,"featured_media":2613,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[191],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-2612","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-task-6-publications","entry","has-media"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2612"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2612\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2613"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2612"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2612"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.marine.usf.edu\/c-image\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2612"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
