Abstrakt: Proposes a method for obtaining a minimum estimate of the fraction of sacoglossan carbon supplied from photosynthesis by kleptoplastids based on the natural abundance of stable carbon isotopes. Analysis of algal and sacoglossan specimens; Carbon and nitrogen content of the algae; Photosynthesis by kleptoplastids in the sacoglossan.
