Our diet-tissue discrimination factors deviate from 'typical' values with larger values for carbon than nitrogen isotopes, but are generally similar to those measured in other crustaceans. Similarly, our estimates of isotopic turnover align with those in other penaeid species. These findings confirm muscle tissue as a reliable indicator of long-term diet and movement patterns in eastern school prawn.
