Stable isotope turnover rates and fractionation in captive California yellowtail (Seriola dorsalis): insights for application to field studies

Abstract Stable isotope analysis (SIA) measurements from long-term captivity studies provide required parameters for interpretation of consumer SIA data. We raised young-of-the-year (14–19 cm) California yellowtail (Seriola dorsalis) on a low δ15N and δ13C diet (pellet aquaculture feed) for 525 days...
