The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Growth and condition indices in juvenile sole Solea solea measured to assess the quality of essential fish habitat (2007, methodology): “Lipid extraction was conducted using the method of Bligh & Dyer (1959) slightly modified as described by Meziane & Tsuchiya (2000).”
The trophic significance of bacterial carbon in a marine intertidal sediment: Results of an in situ stable isotope labeling study (2006, background): “Bacteria-specific fatty acids have consistently been found in fatty acids of macrobenthos from mangroves (Meziane and Tsuchiya 2000; Bachok et al. 2003) and intertidal sediments (Meziane et al. 1997) and comprise roughly 5% to 15% of the total macrobenthic fatty acids.”
Carbon and nitrogen cycling on intertidal mudflats of a temperate Australian estuary. III. Sources of organic matter (2004, background): “This may include organic matter exported from adjacent communities, including mangroves and saltmarshes (Meziane et al. 1997, Meziane & Tsuchiya 2000), terrestrially eroded material such as peats (Volkman et al. 2000), as well as the discharge of organic matter from anthropogenic sources (Meziane &…”
Fatty acids as dietary tracers in benthic food webs (2012, unknown): “Estuarine habitats support relatively diverse faunal assemblages, but few of the resident species directly consume the dominant macrophytes, such as mangroves and seagrasses (Meziane & Tsuchiya 2000, Kharlamenko et al. 2001).”
