Capelin and seabirds in the northwest Atlantic / R.G.B. Brown and David N. Nettleship.: CW66-1566/1982E-PDF

"Capelin is the key organism in the food-webs of fish, marine mammals and seabirds in low arctic waters of the northwest Atlantic. These higher vertebrates depend, directly or indirectly, on capelin for their food (Fig. 1). Because of this central position in the northwest Atlantic food-web, much concern and attention have been focused recently on the major international commercial fishery for this species developed there in the early 1970s (Winters and Campbell, in Pinhorn 1976), and its impact on capelin-associated species"--page 2.
