Understanding predator aggregation patterns in relation to marine productivity is critical in designing ecosystem-level conservation plans for protecting marine habitats and species. The project aims to develop a new approach to measure prey abundance and availability in the marine ecosystem for the management of resources of top-predators. This will be of specific benefit in areas where a strong need exists for conservation of prey species with economic importance too low to justify expensive at-sea research.

了解与海洋生产力相关的捕食者聚集模式对于设计保护海洋栖息地和物种的生态系统级保护计划至关重要。该项目旨在开发一种新方法来测量海洋生态系统中猎物的丰度和可用性，以管理顶级捕食者的资源。这对于那些强烈需要保护猎物物种但经济重要性太低而无法证明昂贵的海上研究合理的地区将具有特殊的好处。
