Trophic Interactions of European Hake Merluccius merluccius (Linnaeus, 1758) in Benthic Communities off the Moroccan Mediterranean Coastline: Seasonal and Ontogenetic Shifts

Figure 6

The food web of the different size classes of Merluccius merluccius, with red nodes representing the predator divided into five different size categories and green nodes signifying the prey. The nodes’ size is proportional to the number of links connected, while the size of links is proportional to the number of times the prey-predator relationship was detected in the samples. The species are arranged based on their relationship with the predator’s size categories, with the prey species shared by all size categories situated in the center.
