After lipid extraction, significant increases in δ15N values (0.5‰–1.4‰) were found in shark muscle and liver tissues. For pinniped skin samples, δ15N values were not significantly lower after lipid extraction (−0.4‰ to –0.1‰). Conclusions: Lipid extraction did not have a strong impact on δ34S values of shark muscle and pinniped skin (≤1‰). However, our results suggest it is essential to consider the effects of lipid extraction when interpreting results from δ34S values of shark liver tissue, as they significantly depleted values relative to bulk tissue (~5‰). This may reflect selective removal of sulfolipids and glutathione present in higher concentrations in the liver than in muscle and skin and requires further investigation.]]> Thu 19 Oct 2023 15:12:53 AEDT ]]> Pelagic and benthic ecosystems drive differences in population and individual specializations in marine predators https://nova.newcastle.edu.au/vital/access/ /manager/Repository/uon:48851 Thu 13 Apr 2023 09:53:15 AEST ]]>
