This data set contains stable isotope values (δ15N and δ13C) from the baleen of fifteen North Atlantic minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata). The whales were taken under scientific permit from the Norwegian Ministry of Fisheries, as part of the Norwegian Scientific Whaling Program (1988-1994), i...
