The Influence of Diet on Stable Carbon Isotope Composition in Otoliths of Juvenile Red Drum (Sciaenops Ocellatus)
To evaluate the influence of dietary carbon on fish otoliths, juvenile red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) were raised for 6 and 9 months in tanks with flow-through ambient seawater and fed diets differing by 2.12‰ (p < 0.001) in carbon isotope composition (del 13C). Muscle tissue from the two treatme...
