文摘

This is the first stable isotope analysis of the Caribbean spiny lobster diet Spiny lobsters obtain 20% of their diet from chemosynthetic food sources This is the first demonstration that chemosynthetic primary production supports fisheries Seagrass habitats provide chemosynthesis-based ecosystem services
