Results and Future PlanThe carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of aquacultures (scallop, oyster and sea pineapple) were different between three species. The carbon stable isotope ratio of sea pineapple was lower than the ratio of oyster and scallop. It is suggested that food source of sea pineapple is phytoplankton, and food source of oyster and scallop is attached microalgae.
The carbon stable isotope ratio of the rock barnacle which attached to the aquacultures was different from the ratio of three species. On the other hand, the carbon stable isotope ratio of the mussel which is filter-feeder was a same as the ratio of three species. Therefore, it is suggested that the mussel competes with aquacultures.
