Comparative study of ontogenetic trophic transition in large yellow croaker from Hong Kong and Taiwan using metabarcoding and isotope analysis

Comparative study of ontogenetic trophic transition in large yellow croaker from Hong Kong and Taiwan using metabarcoding and isotope analysis

Abstract This study examines the feeding ecology and trophic dynamics of the critically endangered large yellow croaker (Larimichthys crocea) in the differing habitats of Hong Kong and Taiwan using 18S gut content metabarcoding and stable isotope analysis. As a top predator, the large yellow croaker...
