Carbon-13 analyses were determined for brachiopods and particulate organic matter from Fiordland waters. Brachiopod delta/sup 13/C are about -18%o which is significantly enriched in /sup 13/C relative to the particulate matter (about -23%o) and different from local terrestrial matter (about -28%o). There is no carbon-13 evidence for non-marine food in the diet of brachiopods
