Exploring variability in the diet of depredating sperm whales in the Gulf of Alaska through stable isotope analysis

Sperm whales interact with commercially important groundfish fisheries offshore in the Gulf of Alaska (GOA). This study aims to use stable isotope analysis to better understand the trophic variability of sperm whales and their potential prey, and to use dietary mixing models to estimate the importan...
