• Standardized diet compositions and trophic levels of skates (Chondrichthyes: Rajiformes: Rajoidei) (2007, background): “Based on published stable isotope studies (Hobson and Welch 1992; Nyssen et al. 2002), amphipods had a much higher calculated TL value (Table 1) than was estimated using the broad category of marine”
