Here, we assess whether fishery exploitation affects the trophic structure of carnivorous fishes. We censused fishes and analysed the stable isotope ratios of C and N of species targeted by fishermen
Only the best supported models are shown; AICc weight: Akaike's Information Criteria (corrected) weights, values range from 0 to 1, and high values indicate strong support for a given predictor; k: nu
The Forage Fish Diet Overlap component of the Alaska Predator Ecosystem Experiment (APEX) investigated the trophic interactions of forage fish prey of seabird populations which were impacted during th
The mean difference between prey and consumer values (TEF) in the linear model output are in comparison with stable isotope values of sardine muscle tissue. SD = standard deviation.
IntroductionStable isotope analysis has been widely used in the study of the trophic structure of marine micronekton in recent years. MethodsIn this study, the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope value
