The trophic ecology of marine catfishes in south-eastern Brazil

The stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) and total mercury concentrations (THg) of the three marine catfish species Aspistor luniscutis , Bagre bagre and Genidens genidens were evaluated to understand their trophic relationship in northern Rio de Janeiro state, south-easter...

description The stable isotope ratios of carbon (δ 13 C) and nitrogen (δ 15 N) and total mercury concentrations (THg) of the three marine catfish species Aspistor luniscutis , Bagre bagre and Genidens genidens were evaluated to understand their trophic relationship in northern Rio de Janeiro state, south-eastern Brazil. The δ 13 C was similar among the three marine catfishes, whereas δ 15 N was similar in A. luniscutis and B. bagre and lower in G. genidens . THg was higher in G. genidens and lower in B. bagre . The greater assimilation of Sciaenidae fishes and squids by A. luniscutis and B. bagre resulted in smaller isotopic niche areas and trophic diversity but higher isotopic niche overlap, trophic redundancy and evenness. For G. genidens , the similar assimilation of all prey items resulted in the broadest isotopic niche among the marine catfishes. The higher mercury content in G. genidens is consistent with an increased important contribution of prey with a higher Hg burden. The bioaccumulation process was indicated by significant correlations of δ 15 N and THg with total length and total mass. Additionally, a significant correlation between THg and δ 15 N reflected the biomagnification process through the food web.
