A perspective on large marine ecosystems; food chain dynamics on the northeast continental shelf of the United States - the shelf-edge exchange programme; warm-temperate food chains of the southeast shelf ecosystem; coastal-shelf food chains of the eastern Bering Sea; spatial/temporal scales of secondary production in the California current; the status of main species of fish in the variable ecosystems of the Barents Sea; global epidemic of noxious phytoplankton blooms and food chain consequences; biomass, yield models and food chain theory; on the causes for variability of fish populations - the linkage between large and small scales; empirical versus theoretical - a critical review of fisheries yield models for large marine ecosystems; Part contents.
