摘要: Flying fish scales were recovered from ornithogenic sediments at 3 coral islands in Qilian Yu, Xisha Islands, South China Sea, and identified based on species-specific morphological structures. Stable isotope analyses indicated insignificant changes in the ratio of C-13 to C-12 (delta C-13) and the ratio of N-15 to N-14 (delta N-15) in scales dating from the period similar to 1000 to 1850 AD, reflecting the stability of avian community structures and feeding habits of tropical seabirds on Qilian Yu where they have consistently preyed on flying fish. Compared with data from modern flying fish samples, we found d15N did not change, while d13C declined by about 1.9% from historical times to the present, but this change can be associated with the Suess effect (decrease of atmospheric delta C-13 caused by fossil-fuel burning). A strong negative correlation was found between delta C-13 and delta N-15 in the historical flying fish scales, which was attributed to the natural spawning behavior of the fish, i.e. adult fish move to inshore areas to spawn; the weak positive correlation previously observed in modern samples is a result of larger sampling areas and possible human disturbances.
