| As in Q1,2, the purpose would have to be stated in terms of biological consequences for the groundfish being depredated. |
| It is quite possible, even likely, that some studies misclassify fates of nests that are depredated late in the nestling stage, leading to overestimates of nesting success. |
| Virtually all nests left in situ on the beach are depredated unless protected by wire enclosures. |
| An event occurred when the fishing line was placed in or taken out of the water and when a fish was caught or depredated. |
| In those broods that were not depredated, nestling survival was high. |
| Each year, many groups failed to produce offspring or the offspring were depredated prior to sampling. |
