Marine diatoms sustain growth of bivalves in a Mediterranean lagoon (2012, background): “In Mediterranean lagoons, strong seasonality in rainfall and the connection with the sea are key factors controlling the relative importance of these two influences.”
Stable isotopes (δ13C, δ15N) and modelling as tools to estimate the trophic ecology of cultivated oysters in two contrasting environments (2007, background): “It is well known that δ13C and δ15N of primary producers depend on the seasonal availabilities of mineral nutrients and their origin, and the metabolic fractionation, which is speciesspecific (Kang et al. 1999; Savoye et al. 2003; Vizzini and Mazzola 2003).”
Evaluating mercury biomagnification in fish from a tropical marine environment using stable isotopes (δ13C AND δ15N) (2007, background): “In a western Mediterranean lagoon, Vizzini and Mazzola [26] showed that carbon signatures in zooplankton, particularly copepods, can vary greatly through time, reflecting variations in phytoplankton signatures.”
