Progress Code: completed Purpose To track human wastewater through elevated uptake of nitrogen stable isotope in muscle tissue of Trematomus bernacchii. Stable isotopes were one line of a multiple line of evidence approach to determine contamination impact. Data show results of carbon and nitrogen stable isotopes in muscle tissue of Trematomus bernacchii collected at 5 sites adjacent to Casey Station. Sites are contaminated Brown Bay, near Wilkes Station, Shannon Bay and reference O'Brien Bay and Sparkes Bay. Approximately 1cm3 of muscle tissue from the left side of each fish was taken for stable isotopes analysis.
