STABLE ISOTOPE ANALYSIS REVEALS ANTHROPOGENIC EFFECTS ON FISH ASSEMBLAGES IN A TEMPERATE RESERVOIR
Abstract
ABSTRACT Effluent from anthropogenic inputs can affect fish assemblages in aquatic ecosystems by altering species richness, diversity and trophic structure. To investigate the effects of a bleached kraft pulp mill effluent (PME) and municipal sewage treatment plant (STP) discharge on fish assemblages in a temperate reservoir, we combined standard ecological methodologies with stable isotope analysis of δ 13 C and δ 15 N. Total catch, species …
