Amino acid compound-specific isotope analysis (AA-CSIA) of tissue samples from four distinct trophic groups across the food web in the pelagic eastern tropical Pacific Ocean; samples collected on NOAA cruises from July to December 2006

<p>Amino acid compound-specific isotope analysis (AA-CSIA) of tissue samples from four distinct trophic groups across the food web in the pelagic eastern tropical Pacific Ocean: macrozooplankton (euphausiid crustaceans), micronekton (myctophid fishes), cephalopods (squids), and micronektonivores (tunas). Samples were collected onboard two NOAA research ships and numerous commercial tuna purse-seine vessels.</p> <p><strong>Related publication:</strong><br /> Hetherington E.D., Olson R.J., Drazen J.C., Lennert-Cody C.E., Ballance L.T., Kaufmann R.S., and Popp B.N.
