Stable isotope data (δ15N, δ13C ) for marine fishes and invertebrates from the Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment Marine Fishes Project, August-September 2012 and 2013 / by Ashley Stasko ... [et...: Fs97-13/1270E-PDF

"This report presents stable isotope data (δ15N, δ13C and C:N ratios) for marine fishes, benthic invertebrates, zooplankton and sediments collected as part of the Beaufort Regional Environmental Assessment Marine Fishes Project. Sampling was conducted along 12 transects in the Canadian Beaufort Sea and Amundsen Gulf during the open water seasons of 2012 and 2013. A total of 113 taxa were selected for stable isotope analyses. The δ15N, δ13C and C:N values for all taxa are reported as means for the entire study region, as well as means for four water mass assemblages that differ in vertical water mass profile, nested within three large-scale regions that differ in organic matter input regimes. These data provide key information to infer food web structure and feeding linkages among offshore marine fishes and invertebrates, thus may be used as a baseline for future monitoring and regulatory decision-making”--Abstract, p. v.
