Abstract: | Pacific bluefin tuna Thunnus orientalis (PBFT) play important economic and ecological roles in the western Pacific Ocean. We currently lack basic information on PBFT foraging that would facilitate ecologically informed recovery strategies for this species. We used stable isotope analysis to investigate recent (previous similar to 1.5 yr based on isotopic turnover rate) trophic ecology of 261 giant... |
