Abstract

Abstract

Fatty acid biomarker is very suitable to tracking the food sources due to its relatively conservative property during the translation through the food chain. The fatty acid biomarker, belonging to trophic biomarkers, is a powerful method which can be applied in marine trophic relation studies. The most popular fatty acid biomarkers used in marine trophic relation researches were summarized. The screening and checking processes of the fatty acid biomarkers mainly include the fatty acid composition analysis of potential food sources, the indoor feeding experiment and the in situ food chain study for biomarker checking. The fatty acid biomarker was applied mainly in two aspects: the comparison of food sources of typical species in different habitats and the food sources analysis of different species in a complex marine ecosystem. The future application of the fatty acid biomarker will be mainly focused on the analysis of certain tissue or lipid class and combination with other methods, such as stable isotope labeling, so as to improve the reliability and accuracy level of the method.
