Abstract:Multispecies and ecosystem models, which are key for the implementation of ecosystem-based approaches to fisheries management, require extensive data on the trophic interactions between marine organisms, including changes over time. DNA metabarcoding (the simultaneous identification of all taxa in a sample by sequencing a short DNA region) could be used for speeding up large-scaled stomach content data collection. Yet, for DNA metabarcoding to be routinely implemented, technical challenges should be addressed,… Show more
