Stable isotope values of fish tissues (muscle and otolith) from the Barents Sea

The dataset contains 3 data files. Firstly, it contains one set of stable isotope compositions expressed as delta13C, d15N, d34S values recovered from fish muscle from a variety of species captured in September 2019 across the Barents Sea as part of the joint IMR-PINRO Barents Sea Ecosystem Survey. Samples were collected by Dr Matthew Cobain and Dr Kim Vane, and isotope data analysed at the university of Southampton. A second dataset contains delta13C and delta18O compositions of fish otolith carbonate recovered from a subset of the same fish. A final sheet contains the full metadata associated with each fish sampled on the survey. All samples were processed by Dr Matthew Cobain or Prof Clive Trueman and stable isotope values determined at the University of Southampton.

Funding:

Project was funded under the NERC Changing Arctic Ocean project, Coldifsh (NE/R012520/1).

Statement

Isotope mass spectrometers were calibrated against international reference standards, and accuracy and precision monitored through replicated analyses of internal standard materials (homogenised cod muscle for CNS data and powdered homogenised otolith for otolith d13C, d18O values.

Long term precision assessed as standard deviation of replicate analyses of internal standards (as unknown samples) was 0.15per-mille for d15N, 0.08per-mille for d13C and 0.5per-mille for d34S, and <0.1per-mille for both d13C and d18O values of otolith carbonate.
