Fatty acid signatures reported as raw flame ionization detection (FID) values for tissue samples from harbor seals and their prey species in the San Juan Islands of Washington State. Samples were collected from 2007 to 2008 and analyzed at the Applied Sciences, Engineering, and Technology (ASET) Laboratory at the University of Alaska, Anchorage. Refer to the calculated limits of detection (PDF) for these compounds.
