The Influence of Diet on Stable Carbon Isotope Composition in Otoliths of Juvenile Red Drum (Sciaenops Ocellatus)

To evaluate the influence of dietary carbon on fish otoliths, juvenile red drum (Sciaenops ocellatus) were raised for 6 and 9 months in tanks with flow-through ambient seawater and fed diets differing by 2.12‰ (p < 0.001) in carbon isotope composition (del 13C). Muscle tissue from the two treatment groups also differed by 2.12‰ (p / A Thesis submitted to the Department of Oceanography in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Master of Science. / Spring Semester, 2004. / February 27, 2004. / Otoliths, Stable Carbon Isotope / Includes bibliographical references. / Jeffrey P.
