Summary: | National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) Auke Bay Laboratories (ABL) Nutritional Ecology Laboratory maintain a database containing all of the biochemical data collected. The database includes seasonal information regarding size, age, location, date, developmental stage, and maturity status of all the specimens we have examined. Samples range from phytoplankton to whales and seals. Depending on the objectives of specific studies, these data can be matched to measures of energy content, proximate, lipid class, and fatty acid composition. This data package is a subset of the database focusing on lipid analyses under the umbrella project 'Significance of Whale Predation on Natural Mortality Rate of Pacific Herring in PWS, Alaska'.
