Abstract
Stable isotope analysis application method has become known as an important scientific approach inAgricultural and Ecological researches and in other fields such as Biology, Botany, Zoology, Organicchemistry, and Climate. The main aims of this study are to provide a simple definition of stable isotope concept,applications, and measurement method and for the animal food habitats determination. The stable isotopes ofCarbon (δ13C) and Nitrogen (δ14N) are enable powerful tools for evaluating the sources of pollution in watersystems, and associated to Bayesian Mixing Models, are the optional method to assess the trophic positions ofthe different taxa in a food web. Nowadays, stable isotope analysis is employed to address animals and humandiets around the world.
