Fishes and invertebrates were collected from the continental slope southwest of the Balearic Islands, Mediterranean, in October 1996 and May 1998 from 3 faunally-distinct depth zones: 200 to 800 m (upper slope), 800 to 1425 m (middle slope) and 1425 to 1800 m (lower slope). Differ- ences in δ 15 N and δ 13 C between October 1996 and May 1998 were observed only in the crustaceans Aristeus antennatus and Nematocarcinus exilis. There were few differences among depths in δ 15 N or δ 13 C of benthic fishes or crustaceans: the shrimps A. antennatus and Acanthephyra eximia showed higher δ 15 N values at greater depth, and δ 13 C values of the fishes Alepocephalus rostratus (Ale- pocephalidae) and Coelorhynchus coelorhynchus (Macrouridae) also tended to increase with in- creasing depth. Differences in plankton and suprabenthos were also observed among zones (at depth, greater δ 15 N values of gelatinous plankton, calanoid copepods and peracarids were recorded, along with smaller δ 13 C values of gelatinous plankton and peracarids). These are attributed to a microbially-mediated increase in δ 15 N and a reduction in δ 13 C of the particulate material remaining after preferential utilization of labile organic matter in the stable and relatively high (13°C) tem- perature of the Mediterranean water column. Strong positive correlations between δ 15 N and δ 13 C data for plankton, fishes and crustaceans indicated a single primary source material for these com- munities, which is attributed to marine snow.
