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.

在卡奔塔利亚湾（Gulf of Carpentaria）的两个研究区域——韦帕（采样时段为1991年至1994年）与格鲁特岛（采样时段为1994年至1995年）——各布设了2个红树林（mangrove）采样点与2个海草（seagrass）采样点并开展采样工作。本研究测定了海草、红树林与对虾（prawn）的稳定同位素比值（stable isotope ratios），并估算了红树林与海草对虾类食物网（food web）的营养贡献占比。
