21 | | '''Figure 3.1''' Relationship between biomass of a predator and the predation mortality it causes on a given prey, as well as the corresponding ''''Q/B'''' for the given predator and prey (assuming that the predator does not reduce prey biomass substantially). Vulnerability, ''v'', is estimated as max. predation mortality/baseline predation mortality, (e.g., 5 at the leftmost stippled line). Baseline mortality is the mortality caused by the predator in the underlying Ecopath model. |
