Combining sources in stable isotope mixing models: alternative methods (2005, methodology): “Recent applications of this method include food web studies on bears (Felicetti et al. 2003; Ben-David et al. 2004), fish (Melville and Connolly 2003; Sara et al. 2004), molluscs (Sara et al. 2003), shrimp (Burford et al. 2004), and humans (Newsome et al. 2004).”
Sedimentation of organic matter from fish farms in oligotrophic Mediterranean assessed through bulk and stable isotope (δ13C and δ15N) analyses (2007, background): “The nitrogen signal in the trap material was higher than in the feed material, and is consistent with an expected increase in δ15N through passage in the trophic chain (Sarà et al., 2004).”
Open water integrated multi-trophic aquaculture: constraints on the effectiveness of mussels as an organic extractive component (2013, background): “Sarà et al. (2004) indicated that carbon in fish wastes (feed and feces) contributed 39% of total particulate organic matter at another Mediterranean fish farm.”
Feeding habits and trophic levels of bluefin tuna Thunnus thynnus of different size classes in the Mediterranean Sea (2007, methodology): “ISOSOURCE software (Phillips and Gregg, 2003; Newsome et al., 2004; Sarà et al., 2004) was used to calculate all mixing models.”
