Paper on the stable isotopic composition of tissues and shells in the Mediterranean mussel Mytilus galloprovincialis from the Krka river estuary published in journal Aquaculture. The results present valuable information on the feeding ecology of M. galloprovincialis, highlighting the complex interactions between environmental factors and feeding habits. Furthermore, this work shows the potential of M. galloprovincialis shell δ15N values as an indicator for nitrogen loading in aquaculture settings and coastal marine environments.
