Anchovy Bay

Anchovy Bay is a popular tourist attraction due to its century-old fishing port and its newer whale-watching industry. The fisheries have declined over the last decades, and have shifted from a focus on groundfish to being dominated by shrimp and pelagic fisheries.

Foraging Arena Theory

Foraging arena theory assumes that predator-prey interactions occur at the scale of hours and metres through various behavioural and physical mechanisms potentially restricting prey exposure to predation and intensify competition between predators

Instantaneous rate

Instantaneous rate is the rate of change of a quantity at an exact moment in time, or at an instant. It is the limit of the average rate of change over an infinitesimally small time interval, as the time interval approaches zero. The instantaneous rate can be thought of as the slope of the tangent line to the curve representing the quantity being measured at a specific point in time. In calculus, the instantaneous rate is represented by the derivative of the function with respect to time.
