King mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) diet: prey items by percent volume for six food webs in the Gulf of Mexico (SCavalla_prey_act_pctvol_fw.shp)

This dataset outlines areas in the Gulf of Mexico where spatial food webs have been identified based on king mackerel (Scomberomorus cavalla) diet data. These data were taken from a collection of 27 existing gut-content analysis studies comprising 1454 predator-prey interactions at the species level (available via the GoMexSI Gulf of Mexico Species Interactions online database http://gomexsi.tamucc.edu/). In this dataset, these interactions are summarized to the family level where possible. Prey items unable to be identified at the family level taxon are grouped in Class Actinopterigii. The percent volume of each prey family in each of the 6 food webs are listed along with the number of prey stomachs examined in each food web.
