Manta birostris, predator of the deep? Insight into the diet of the giant manta ray through stable isotope analysis
The characterization of diet for the giant manta ray Manta birostris has been problematic given their large-scale movement patterns and the difficulty in obtaining stomach contents from this species. The large majority of existing information is based on observational data limited to feeding events...
