Seasonal Trophic Dynamics of Sinking Particles in the Ulleung Basin of the East Sea (Japan Sea): An Approach Employing Nitrogen Isotopes of Amino Acids

To identify the sources of organic matter, we examined nitrogen isotopes of the amino acids of sinking particles collected from July 2017 to March 2018 at 1000 and 2250 m in the Ulleung Basin, the southwestern part of the East Sea (Japan Sea). Compared to the 1000 m samples, sinking particles at 225...
