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

<div>Prey-predator functional relationships. Number of <i>Merluccius merluccius</i> stomachs containing <i>Trachurus trachurus</i> in relation to the biomass of <i>Trachurus trachurus</i> estimated for the same hauls (data from MEDITS 2020–2022 surveys). The bubble size is proportional to the number of <i>Merluccius merluccius</i> stomach data (number of individuals) available per haul.</div>
