1 and 2) had diets that consisted (62% and 80%, respectively) of adult Osteichthyes (Clupeidae and unidentifiable fish tissue), and to a lesser extent of larval-juvenile Osteichthyes (for adult coho salmon) and euphausiids (for blue shark).
1 and 3) diets consisted mainly of adult Osteichthyes (81% and 30%, respectively); blue shark diets consisted secondarily of osteichthyean tissue (16%), and adult coho salmon diet consisted secondarily of brachyuran larvae (69% of which were Dungeness crab [Cancer magister] megalopae).
For trophic group B, larval juvenile Osteichthyes and adult euphausiids together accounted for over 80% of the total percent similarity in diets among the three nekton, and larval-juvenile Osteichthyes accounted for 60% of the overlap.
Most of the similarity in diet within this trophic group was due to larval-juvenile Osteichthyes (70% of total similarity).
