However, there are currently, very few long-term datasets within the European context available for parameterising such models. DAPSTOM (Integrated Database and Portal for Fish Stomach Records) is an ongoing initiative (supported by Defra and the EU) to digitize and make available fish stomach content records spanning the past 100 years. The online database contains information (over 225,000 records) on 188 predator species (most of those occurring in northern European groundfish surveys) and can be searched by predator name or by prey name for given sea areas and years. CSV data files can be outputted containing all records from a particular query. The current database contains information spanning 1893 - 2012.

Scientific partners in France, Ireland, Norway and Iceland generously submitted electronic datasets for inclusion, while Cefas staff made efforts to seek out older datasets, both in the Cefas archive and in published reports and papers, especially those focussing on sharks, tunas and unusual species observed around the UK. Large quantities of historical data have been added from the various Annual Reports of the ‘Fishery Board for Scotland’ (1884-1933). Extensive datasets (33,918 records) have also been digitised from log-books of the research vessel Ernest Holt that was operated by the MAFF Directorate of Fisheries (predecessor of Cefas) in the Arctic in the 1940s, 1950s and 1960s. .. _`https://www.cefas.co.uk/data-and-publications/fish-stomach-records/`: https://www.cefas.co.uk/data-and-publications/fish-stomach-records/ MEDIN 3.1.1
