Dataset and species aggregation method applied to food-web models in the Northern Ionian Sea (Central Mediterranean Sea) [PDF]
Data in Brief, 2021 The ecological roles of the species in the food web are studied through the Ecopath with Ecosim modelling approach. In this modelling approach, the food web is described by means of functional groups, each representing a species, a life stage of a ...
