Oceanographers record the largest predation event ever observed in the ocean: « The scientists’ wide-scale acoustic mapping technique could help track vulnerable keystone species. »

In the largest predation event ever recorded, researchers observed capelin shoaling off the coast of Norway, where a swarm of cod overtook them, consuming over 10 million fish in a few hours. The team hopes to deploy their technique to monitor the large-scale dynamics among other species of fish and track vulnerable keystone species.
