title: Relationships between otolith and fish size from Mediterranean and north-eastern Atlantic species to be used in predator-prey studies.
abstract: Regressions between fish length and otolith size are provided for 40 species from the north-eastern Atlantic Ocean and 142 species from the Mediterranean Sea. Regressions were also estimated at genus level. Most of the regressions (c. 84%) explained a high percentage of the deviance (>75%).
