  abstract = {{P}otential trophic competition between two sympatric mullet species, {M}ugil cephalus and {M}ugil curema, was explored in the hypersaline estuary of the {S}aloum {D}elta ({S}enegal) using {C}-13 and {N}-15 composition of muscle tissues. {B}etween species, {N}-15 compositions were similar, suggesting a similar trophic level, while the difference in {C}-13 compositions indicated that these species did not feed from exactly the same basal production sources or at least not in the same proportions. {T}his result provides the first evidence of isotopic niche segregation between two limno-benthophageous species belonging to the geographically widespread, and often locally abundant, {M}ugilidae family.},
