Project Year and Number: 1996: 96320-I

Other Fiscal Years and Numbers for this Project: 1998: 98320-I, 1997: 97320-I, 1995: 95320-I2, 1995: 95320-I, 1994: 94320-I

Principal Investigator (PI): Tom Kline (Prince William Sound Science Center)

Managing Agency: NOAA

Assisting Personnel: None

Research Location: PWS/KAP

Restoration Category: Research

Injured Resources Addressed: Pacific Herring, Pink Salmon

Abstract: This project would analyze tissue samples and use shifts in stable isotope ratios that occur with trophic level and food source to describe food sources and predation relationships among species in PWS.

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 in an 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.
