  abstract = {{T}he interpretation of delta {C}-13 values in trophic ecology requires standardization of the lipid content of organisms estimated through their {C}:{N} ratio. {T}o avoid time-consuming lipid extractions, the use of mathematical corrections has been developed for many years, and the conclusions generally point in the direction of species-specific adjustment of the models. {T}his study aimed at defining the maximum taxonomic level required to obtain the best corrected delta {C}-13 values in small pelagic fish of the order {C}lupeiformes. delta {C}-13 values of six species were analyzed bulk and lipid-free, and were used to fit and validate linear and mass-balance models at different taxonomic levels. {D}espite a species effect combined with the {C}:{N} ratio effect, the corrected delta {C}-13 values produced by a global model for the {C}lupeiformes were as good as or better when compared to lipid-free samples than those produced by species-specific models, paving the way for possible generalization to other species in this order. {A}t the order level, the linear model outperformed the mass-balance model.},
