The use of stable isotope ratios of carbon and nitrogen to elucidate pelagic marine foodwebs of the Benguela and Agulhas Bank regions of South Africa

Bibliography: pages 75-84. === Isotope assessments of foodweb relationships amongst pelagic organisms may be influenced by their lipid content, since lipids are more depleted in ¹³C than other biochemical compounds. This is particularly important for plankton which show a greater decrease in δ¹³C ca...
