Habitat and trophic ecology of Southern Ocean cephalopods from stable isotope analyses

Abstract: Although cephalopods play a critical role in marine food webs both as predators and prey, there is a limited knowledge of several basic aspects of their ecology, including their habitat and trophic level, in the Southern Ocean. We examined the ecological role of several Southern Ocean cephalopod species by analyzing δ N values were more variable among species, ranging from 2.4 to 13.3 ‰, a difference of ~11 ‰ that represents approx. 3 trophic levels. Differences among islands in isotope ratios in the same ceph… Show more

“…The strange behavior of holding jellyfish may suggest complex interactions between 6 Journal of Marine Biology the two types of species, because similar interactions [57] have been observed in other cephalopods. Stable isotope analyses suggest H. atlanticus has an intermediate trophic level compared to other cephalopods [58,59], which could be consistent with feeding on gelatinous zooplankton and other types of prey.…”

“…gonatids, histioteuthids), which include small and delicate forms (e.g. chiroteuthids, mastigoteuthids) (Cherel & Hobson 2005, Cherel et al 2008, 2009b, Guerreiro et al 2015, Golikov et al 2018. Clearly, the issue merits further investigations using CSIA-AA to compare thoroughly TP Bulk with TP CSIA estimates.…”

“…Moreover, the ratio of chitin to protein varies within beaks and between beaks, because the undarkened, darkening and darkened parts of beaks contain decreasing relative amounts of chitin over protein (Rubin et al 2010). Hence, overcoming the chitin effect on beaks is of primary importance, and 4 different approaches can be used theoretically (Xavier et al 2015). (1) Quantification of isotopic correction factors allows the comparison of d 15 N Bulk be -tween beaks and soft tissues, with the drawback that corrected values are estimates (Hobson & Cherel 2006, Cherel et al 2009a).…”

“…Predators serve as 'biological samplers,' and cephalo pod beaks obtained from stomach contents have also been used to better understand the dynamics of oceanic food webs, especially in the Southern Ocean (e.g. Xavier et al 2013, Guerreiro et al 2015, Negri et al 2016, Seco et al 2016). In the North Pacific, little information is available on the ecology of cephalopod prey families identified from our study.…”
