Abstract
The method, which was originally developed for the determination of organic carbon in marine muds, has been adopted for the estimation of organic carbon in stomach contents of marine fishes. Analysis of the stomach contents of four species with different feeding habits has been given and working instructions have been provided for the determination of organic carbon. The same method has also been used for the determination of organic carbon in the whole fish. The method gave consistent results throughout the analysis. The ratio of body carbon to food carbon in a zooplankton feeder and a carnivore were nearer to 1, but in phytoplankton and detritus feeders these ratios were between 5 and 7.
