The unexpected conclusion of the doctoral research project on the feeding ecology of porpoises is that the Eastern Scheldt in the Netherlands may be an ecological trap. She also discovered that more than just examining stomach contents is required to find out what porpoises eat. The analyses of stable isotopes and fatty acids provide different and more complete data.
