Nitrogen loads influence trophic organization of estuarine fish assemblages

Summary Nutrient (N and P) loading may affect functioning in aquatic ecosystems by restructuring producer assemblages with flow‐on effects to consumers. Trophic niche occupancy and trophic organization of consumers are key components of ecosystem function that have been increasingly investigated using quantitative isotopic niche indices. These indices are based on the premise that the isotopic values of consumer tissues indicate their...
