Datasets:
EVOSTC Data Archive: This project measures stable isotopes of carbon and nitrogen in macro-zooplankton and fishes from Prince William Sound and north Gulf of Alaska in order to reveal primary production sources and their food. Biologic samples are taken at SEA stations located around the Sound. Published articles Availability: All SEAFOOD project data will be integrated into project SEA-DATA. Available to collaborating researchers and managers and through the scheduled release of the SEA database.
