Abstract
⺠First study of the response of a deep-sea macrofaunal community at sub-zero temperatures. ⺠δ15N data alone were not sufficient to distinguish between feeding types. ⺠Combination of δ15N-13C uptake unravelled the feeding preferences of organisms. ⺠Feeding type classification of deep-sea benthos based on shallow water analogues is not always accurate.⺠Deep-water animals may respond to the limited food supply by omnivorous feeding.
