LM Durante, RO Smith, S Kolodzey, RM McMullin, NH Salmond, CD Schlieman, SA O'Connell-Milne, RD Frew, R Van Hale, SR Wing (2021). Volume 216, 104368,

Highlights
  • Subtropical and Subantarctic water masses connect habitats throughout the shelf.
  • Habitat connectivity influences ocean productivity north of Akaroa.
  • δ15N and δ13C isoscapes are influenced by nutrient availability and coastal advection patterns.
  • δ15N and δ13C isoscapes vary spatially but showed small temporal variability.
