Influences of Ocean Currents on the Diets of Demersal Fish Communities in the Western North Pacific Revealed by Their Muscle Carbon and Nitrogen Isotopic Compositions

To study the influence of different ocean currents on the trophic spectra found in a sympatric fish community, we analyzed the radiocarbon contents (Δ14C) and stable carbon (δ13C) and nitrogen (δ15N) isotopic compositions in their bulk muscle tissues and the δ15N of individual amino acids in 26 spec...
