Abstract
Methane in hydrothermal fluids of Suiyo seamount, located in the central part of Izu-Bonin-Mariana arc at the depth of 1,400m, showed the 13C-enriched carbon isotopic compositions of around -6 per mil VPDB. In this study, we would like to discuss whether the 13C-enriched methane is magmatic"" or not. ""
