摘要

The aim of the present study was to quantify the effect of formalin-ethanol preservation on the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope values of five deep-sea species (Abra longicallus, Molpadia musculus, Sipunculus norvegicus, Chirimia biceps and Nephthys hystricis). To examine temporal changes in the effects of preservation and to determine if preservation induces predictable shifts in δ~(13)C and δ~(15)N values, analyses were carried out after 1, 6 and 12 months of preservation. The data indicated variable effects on carbon and nitrogen isotope values among species after formalin and ethanol preservation. Formalin fixation did not affect 6~(15)N values of any of the five species analysed, while it did affect δ~(13)C values, with a depletion trend observed in all of the species. In general ethanol preservation did not affect nitrogen values for up to 6 months of preservation, and only the δ~(15)N values ofS. norvegicus became depleted after 12 months. Ethanol fixation only affected the carbon isotopic composition of M. musculus, with a progressive depletion from 1 to 12 months after preservation. Due to the different effects of preservation on stable isotope values, the use of a general and systematic correction factor was not possible. Since no effect on δ~(15)N values of either formalin or ethanol fixation is evident after 6 months, we recommend that these methods be used for short-term (<6 months) conservation and only if studies are focused on the identification of trophic levels. If changes in carbon and nitrogen isotopic values from long-preserved samples are to be used for reconstructing a food web, it is necessary to establish the effects of preservation in the whole spectrum of species evaluated.
