Differential use of multiple food sources at a bathyal benthic ecosystem in the central Sagami Bay revealed by amino acid nitrogen isotopic compositions by Hidetaka Nomaki, Yoshito Chikaraishi, Nanako O. Ogawa, Koh Maki, Motohiro Shimanaga, Hisami Suga, Masashi Tsuchiya, Toshi Nagata, Naohiko Ohkouchi

“…Here, we applied this method to benthic animals (meiofauna, macrofauna, and megafauna) living at 1430 m deep in the central Sagami Bay, Japan. The δ 15N value of phenylalanine (δ 15NPhe) reflects the value of primary producers and was used to estimate the food sources of organisms, while the difference between δ 15N value of glutamic acid (δ 15NGlu) and δ 15NPhe shifts between food source and consumer and was thus used to estimate the trophic position (TPGlu/Phe). …”
