If any of you are interested in applied ecosystem analysis, the gray literature has a lot of interesting information. A couple of examples for the Orange Roughly, a commercially important deep-water fish in our area of study (see http://fpcs.fish.govt.nz/Science/Plenary.aspx for a broad range of other species):
