The influence of diet composition and tissue type on the stable isotope incorporation patterns of a small-bodied southern African minnow Enteromius anoplus (Cypriniformes, Cyprinidae).

These results suggest that fin tissue can potentially be used as an alternative for muscle tissue in food web studies with a reasonable level of error. The isotopic turnover rate and DTDFs estimates for E. anoplus, however, require consideration of diet composition because different diets may differ in their isotopic incorporation patterns.
