摘要

δ~(13) C was used to identify seasonal variations in the importance of autochthonous and allochthonous sources of productivity for fish communities in intermittently connected estuarine areas of Australia's dry tropics. A total of 224 fish from 38 species were collected from six intermittently connected estuarine pools, three in central Queensland (two dominated by C_3 forest and one by C_4 pasture) and three in north Queensland (one dominated by C_3 and two by C_4 vegetation). Samples were collected before and after the wet season. Fish collected in the two forested areas in central Queensland had the lowest δ~(13) C, suggesting a greater incorporation of C_3 terrestrial material. A seasonal variation in δ~(13) C was also detected for these areas, with mean δ~(13)C varying from -20 to -23%o from the pre- to the post-wet season, indicating a greater incorporation of terrestrial carbon after the wet season. Negative seasonal shifts in fish δ~(13)C were also present at the pasture site, suggesting a greater dependence on carbon of riparian vegetation (C_3 Juncus sp.) in the post-wet season. In north Queensland, terrestrial carbon seemed to bernincorporated by fish in the two C_4 areas, as δ~(13)C of most species shifted towards slightly heavier values in the post-wet season. A two-source, one-isotope mixing model also indicated a greater incorporation of carbon of terrestrial origin in the post-wet season. However, no seasonal differences in δ~(13)C were detected for fish from the forested area of north Queensland. Overall, hydrologic connectivity seemed to be a key factor in regulating the ultimate sources of carbon in these areas. It is therefore important to preserve the surrounding habitats and to maintain the hydro-logic regimes as close to natural conditions as possible, for the conservation of the ecological functioning of these areas.
