The journal Biology retracts the article titled “Using Stable Isotope Techniques to Analyze the Trophic Relationship between Argentine Hake (Merluccius hubbsi) and Anisakidae” [1], cited above.
Following the publication, concerns were brought to the attention of the Editorial Office regarding the presence of unverifiable sources in the cited literature and the scientific accuracy of the findings presented in this study [1].
Adhering to our complaint’s procedure, the Editorial Office and Editorial Board conducted an investigation that confirmed the presence of several unverifiable citations as well as a number of significant errors and limitations in the study. As a result, the Editorial Board has lost confidence in the reliability of the conclusions and decided to retract this publication [1], as per MDPI’s retraction policy (https://www.mdpi.com/ethics#_bookmark30).
This retraction was approved by the Editor-in-Chief of the Biology journal.
