Carbon isotopic variability in the composite pelagic foodweb of four oligotrophic lakes: feeding diversity or metabolic fractionations?

Robert L. France

Department of Biology, McGill University 1250 Avenue Dr Penfield, Montreal, Quebec, H3A 1B1 Canada

Received on March 7, 1995; accepted on May 31, 1995 The {delta}13C values of a simple pelagic foodweb (zooplankton, mysids, lake trout) composited from four oligotrophic Canadian Shield lakes showed no relationships to either animal trophic position ({delta}15 or lipid content (C/N ratios). Carbon isotopic variability is therefore thought to be reflective of feeding diversity and not organismal metabolic fractionations due to either biochemical or trophic effects.
