Ruiz-Cooley, Rocio I Anderson, Clarissa Kudela, Raphael Dunkin, Robin Field, John Food Chain Diatoms Animals Pacific Ocean Harmful Algal Bloom Kainic Acid Nitrogen Isotopes Fishes Extreme Heat California Unprecedented warm ocean conditions, driven by the Large Marine Heatwave (LMH) and the 2015-16 El Niño in the Northeast Pacific favored pervasive toxigenic Pseudo-nitzschia spp. blooms that caused widespread ecological impacts, but little is known about the magnitude to which marine food webs were altered. Here, we assessed the trophic transfer of domoic acid (DA; a neurotoxin) and changes in trophic position from multiple key species during the peak of the LMH and El Niño in 2015 in comparison with 2018, a reference non-anomalous warm year. DA and amino acid nitrogen isotopes (δN ) were quantified using liquid and gas chromatography mass spectrometry, respectively. Our integrative approach revealed extremely high levels of DA in anchovy viscera (>3000 μg/g) with contrasting baseline values (δN ) for southern California fish. These results together with data from northern CA revealed an unforeseen latitudinal isotopic variation in key DA vectors along California, possibly driven by anomalous restructuring of water masses. At the regional level, the observed cross-shore differences in baseline isotope values and DA toxicity suggest distinct pathways for DA trophic transfer for nearshore vs. offshore sites. Given the high levels of environmental disturbance during the LMH and persistence of toxigenic P. australis blooms, our resultant higher trophic position proxies in 2015 compared to 2018 were particularly unexpected. Such results highlight complex trophic interactions, where the trophic status of some species increased while others decreased in response to changes in net primary productivity, and biodiversity, and abundance of forage species. Our study demonstrates the use of δN AAs to identify pathways of N and DA trophic transfer and to quantify shifts in animal trophic position, a critical facet of understanding the response of food webs to climate change and DA production. |
