Common Loon Polycyclic Aromatic Hydrocarbon (PAH) and Health Data, Louisiana, 2017-02-25 to 2017-03-05

Twenty one common loons (Gavia immer) were captured in 2017 from February 25th through March 5th in coastal Louisiana. In addition to placing band tags on each bird, tissue samples were obtained for polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon (PAH), health and immunosuppression parameters, as well as various morphometric characteristics.2017年2月25日至3月5日，研究人员在路易斯安那州沿海区域捕获了21只普通潜鸟（Gavia immer）。除为每只个体佩戴环志标记外，还采集了组织样本，用于检测多环芳烃（polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbon, PAH）、健康与免疫抑制相关参数以及多项形态计量学特征。
