Stable isotope ratios collected from Japanese tsunami marine debris along the Hawaii, Washington and Oregon coasts during 2012 (JTMD-BF project)

Expand/Collapse All

Description

This dataset includes tissue stable isotope ratios (δ13C and δ15N) from specimens collected from the 2012 Japanese tsunami marine debris.

We compared d¹³C and d¹⁵N isotope ratios among Mytilus galloprovincialis from JTMD and from the docks Misawa Fishing Port, Japan (the origin of the Agate beach dock populations) and with the North American mussels, Mytilus californianus and Mytilus trossulus to partially assess trophic histories of JTMD species.

Access to this data is temporarily RESTRICTED. Please contact the PI's for further information.

Data Processing Description

Estuarine and marine δ15N isotope ratios of M. trossulus were combined.
