Use of Stable Nitrogen Isotope Signatures of Anthropogenic Organic Matter in the Coastal Environment: The Case Study of the Kosirina Bay (Murter Island, Croatia)

Use of Stable Nitrogen Isotope Signatures of Anthropogenic Organic Matter in the Coastal Environment: The Case Study of the Kosirina Bay (Murter Island, Croatia)

<p>In this study stable nitrogen isotope ratios of particulate matter POM, zooplankton and selected biota such as <em>Mytilus galloprovincialis</em> were used to assess the impact of anthropogenically derived organic matter from the untreated domestic sewage, municipal and industri...
