      <p><i>Rationale</i>: Intrinsic biogeochemical markers, such as stable isotope ratios of carbon, nitrogen and sulphur, are increasingly used to trace the trophic ecology of marine top predators. However, insufficient knowledge of fractionation processes in tissues continues to hamper the use of these markers.</p> <p><i>Methods</i>: We performed a controlled feeding experiment with eight juvenile ...
