Trophic importance of Laminaria hyperborea to kelp forest consumers and the importance of bacterial degradation to food quality
Open accessAbstract
The nutritional value of kelp Laminaria hyperborea (Gunn.)Foslie and the importance of bacterial degradation in making kelp available to consumers were tested by no-choice feeding experiments.Fresh and dead kelp material degraded in situ was sampled.In the laboratory, fresh kelp was degraded for 3, 14 and 44 d by kelp associated bacterial communities under aerobic and anaerobic conditions.The fresh and degraded kelp products were fed to the kelp associated amphipods Jassa falcata, Lembos websteri, Ampithoe rubricata and Gammarus locusta and the gastropod Rissoa parva.None of the amphipods tested could survive or grow on fresh kelp, but bacterial degradation decreased the C:N ratio and the phlorotannin content and made kelp available as food.In contrast, the gastropod survived on both fresh and degraded kelp.13 C: 12 C and 15 N: 14 N isotope analysis of fauna and possible food items sampled in the field suggested that kelp derived particulate organic matter (POM) is an important food source for kelp epifauna.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
