Stable isotopes reveal trophic ontogeny in Cisco (Coregonus artedi)

Benjamin E. Martin,
Joseph T. Mrnak

Abstract: Cisco (Coregonus artedi) are a widespread, cold‐water zooplanktivore native to North America. Although Cisco are generally referred to as an “obligate zooplanktivore,” there is some evidence that the species exhibits considerable variability in trophic niche. Here, we assessed how Cisco body size relates to trophic position, that is, trophic ontogeny. We analysed 13C and 15N isotopes from Cisco ranging from 127 to 271 mm in body length (n = 66) from Trout Lake, Vilas County, Wisconsin, USA. 15N isotopes showed… Show more
