Contract Type FiledJune 25th, 2001where T(i) is the trophic impact on food item i (in %), x the number of analysed species, and N the mean number of individuals of a defined species (sp) and of all the x analysed species (tot) for all the samples of a cruise. Only classical benthic sampling devices (trawls and box-corers) were taken into account for evaluating N , as baited traps for instance do not reflect the actual instantaneous abundance of a species in a defined sampling area.
