The stomach evacuation model now in use when quantifying the predation from
cod on Barents Sea capelin assumes that the evacuation rate is dependent on the
stomach fullness after the last meal, which is not known in the field. The paper
seeks to overcome this problem by fitting a simple feeding model for cod to the
distribution of stomach contents from field data of individual cod stomachs.
