• Description:
  A comparison of the food webs of the eastern and western Bering Sea continental shelf large marine ecosystems (EBS and WBS LMEs) is presented, with a literature review of Russian and English sources for the western Bering Sea food web. A model is constructed using Ecopath, a tool for performing quantitative mass-balance calculations to synthesize food web data. The model focuses on the earliest period for which detailed diet data was available in both systems, 1980-85.
