Contrasting management regimes indicative of mesopredator release in temperate coastal fish assemblages

Contrasting management regimes indicative of mesopredator release in temperate coastal fish assemblages

Abstract The absence of functional top predators has been proposed as a mechanism acting to shape fish assemblages in temperate marine ecosystems, with cascading effects on lower trophic levels. We explore this scenario by comparing the trophic and functional status of fish assemblages in Norwegian...
