Food Webs of Prawns in Tropical Systems Dataset 1991-1995

Two mangrove sites and two seagrass sites were sampled in each region of the Gulf of Carpentaria; Weipa (between 1991 and 1994) and Groote Eylandt (between 1994 and 1995). The stable isotope ratios of seagrass, mangroves and prawns were measured, and the contribution of mangroves and seagrass to prawn food webs was estimated.

卡奔塔利亚湾（Gulf of Carpentaria）的每个区域均布设2个红树林（mangrove）样点与2个海草（seagrass）样点并开展采样；其中韦帕（Weipa）区域的采样时段为1991年至1994年，格鲁特岛（Groote Eylandt）区域的采样时段为1994年至1995年。研究人员测定了海草、红树林以及对虾（prawn）的稳定同位素比值（stable isotope ratios），并估算了红树林与海草对对虾食物网（food web）的贡献占比。
