Summary

DAPSTOM (integrated database and portal for fish stomach records) is an ongoing initiative (supported by Defra and the EU) to digitise and make available fish stomach content records spanning the past 100 years.

In this latest iteration (Version 6.3) an additional 26,767 records for 122,137 individual predator stomachs have been added to the dataset (including 31,488 cod stomachs), bringing the total up to 283,121 records from 481,476 stomachs and 741 distinct research cruises/sampling campaigns. Data are available for 210 predator species and a huge swathe of the Northeast Atlantic, but particularly the North Sea, Celtic Sea, Irish Sea and area around Spitzbergen.

Records span the period 1836 to 2023, and the database encompasses individuals ranging in size from 0.1 cm (a herring larva) to 768 cm for a basking shark caught in 1947.
