Abstract
Abstract Trophic transfer and retention of dietary compounds are vital for somatic development, reproduction, and survival of aquatic consumers. In this field study, stable carbon and nitrogen isotopes, and fatty acids (FA) contents in invertebrates and fishes of pre‐alpine Lake Lunz, Austria, were used to (1) identify the resource use and trophic level of Arctic charr ( Salvelinus alpinus ), pike ( Esox lucius ), perch ( Perca fluviatilis ), brown trout ( Salmo trutta ), roach ( Rutilus rutilus ), and minnow ( Phoxinus phoxinus ) and (2) examine how polyunsaturated fatty acids (PUFA; i.e., omega‐3 and ‐6 PUFA ) are related to total lipid status, littoral–pelagic reliance, and trophic position. Stable isotope data suggest that pike, perch, and minnow derived most of their energy from littoral resources, but minnows differed from pike and perch in their trophic position and PUFA composition. The co‐occurrence of cyprinids, percids, and pike segregated these fishes into more lipid‐rich (roach, minnow) and lipid‐poor (pike, percids) species. Although the relatively lipid‐poor pike and percids occupied a higher trophic position than cyprinids, there was a concurrent, total lipid‐dependent decline in omega‐3 and ‐6 PUFA in these predatory fishes. Results of this lake food‐web study demonstrated that total lipids in fish community, littoral–pelagic reliance, and trophic position explained omega‐3 and ‐6 PUFA in dorsal muscle tissues. Omega‐3 and ‐6 PUFA in these fishes decreased with increasing trophic position, demonstrating that these essential FAs did not biomagnify with increasing trophic level. Finally, this lake food‐web study provides evidence of fish community‐level relationship between total lipid status and PUFA or stable isotope ratios, whereas the strength of such relationships was less strong at the species level.

Full frame distilled prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. Learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and 10,348 direct Gemma labels. Candidate is the union of thresholded teacher heads; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels or direct frontier model labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from it
