The Use of Stable Isotopes for Food Web Analyses: An Example of Food Webs in a Coastal Ecosystem in Sendai Bay

摘要

On the whole, the results from stable isotope analysis were well consistent with those from stomach contents analysis. In the future, the data of multi-element isotopes (e.g., nitrogen stable isotopes of amino acids and radiocarbon) also can be applied to evaluate more details on the food webs in coastal ecosystem.
