“…For example, using both bulk tissue δ 13 C and δ 15 N and gut content analysis, Koenigs et al. () found a positive but noisy relationship between the contribution of kelp‐derived energy and the trophic position of fish species in a California kelp forest. Here, we suspect that the greater degree of kelp‐derived EAA in the two upper trophic‐level species is related to their degree of motility.…”
