Title The estimation of organic carbon in the stomach
Contents of some marine fishes

Subject Fish physiology
 
Description The method, which was originally developed for the determination of
organic carbon in marine muds, has been adopted for the estimation of organic
carbon in stomach contents of marine fishes. Analysis of the stomach contents
of four species with different feeding habits has been given and working instructions
have been provided for the determination of organic carbon. The same method
has also been used for the determination of organic carbon in the whole fish. The
method gave consistent results throughout the analysis. The ratio of body
carbon to food carbon in a zooplankton feeder and a carnivore were nearer
to 1, but in phytoplankton and detritus feeders these ratios were between 5
and 7.
