Fatty acid profiles of marine consumer from the Southern Hemisphere

This collection includes 4,856 records of fatty acid profiles of individual and pooled samples of at least 470 different marine consumer species sampled from tropical, temperate, and polar regions around Australia and in the Southern, Indian, and Pacific Oceans from 1989 to 2018. This includes data for a diverse range of taxa (zooplankton, fish, cephalopods, chondrichthyans, and marine mammals).\nLineage: We compiled fatty acid and ecological research done at the Commonwealth Scientific and Industrial Research Organisation (CSIRO) marine-lipid laboratories in Hobart, Tasmania over the last three decades.
