| Summary: | Eight species of fish and one species of cephalopod were selected for this study. The specimens are from a portion of the Bering Sea and North Pacific Ocean bordering the central and western Aleutian Islands. The common name and individual fish or cephalopod identification number (internal to UAF and the METAL) are also provided. Muscle tissue from all of the samples included in the present study (n=514) were previously analyzed for their bulk carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios and total mercury concentrations. Data points include: the year of collection of the specimens (ranging 2011 to 2015), the region of capture in the Aleutian Islands, and the catch location relative to Amchitka Pass (east or west), total mercury concentration in the muscle tissue is provided. Note that these data were previously published in Cyr et al. (2019). The data generated for the present project included δ13C and δ15N values of amino acids from muscle tissue of eight species of fish and one species of cephalopod. Trophic ... |
