Trophic relationships of hake (Merluccius capensis Castelnau, 1851 and M. paradoxus Franca 1960) from the Northern Benguela current ecosystem (Namibia) : inferences from stable isotopes and fatty acids

Trophic relationships of hake (Merluccius capensis Castelnau, 1851 and M. paradoxus Franca 1960) from the Northern Benguela current ecosystem (Namibia) : inferences from stable isotopes and fatty acids

Two species of hake (Merluccius capensis and Merluccius paradoxus) account for most of Namibia’s fisheries catch, and they are important secondary consumers in the Benguela Current ecosystem. Inferences on their trophic relationships have been based mainly on stomach content analyses. However, such...
