ζAB estimated from observations in available literature for multiple trophic interaction

Prey, A Predator, B AB AB ζAB Ref.
Phytoplankton Copepods 1,680 21,000 13.5 (14)
Copepods Micronekton 96 1,340 14.9 (14)
Micronekton Dolphins 20 480 26.0 (14)
Micronekton Tunas 0.094 3.24 35.5 (39)
Copepods Whales 0.066 3.35 56.8 (40)
Salmon Humans 0.088 7.62 87.5 (41)*

Humans are not included explicitly in the present model, but the estimate of ζAB illustrates the magnitude of the fishing effect on fish populations.
