Stable isotope analysis for birds collected at sea (B77)

This dataset contains data on the stable isotope analysis of tissue samples from birds collected in waters within 200 kilometers of the Pribilof Islands, St. George and St. Paul and extending southeastward to Bogoslof Island in 2008 and 2009. Birds were collected by shotgun and tissue samples of cheek feather, muscle, and liver were removed for stable isotope analyses. Whole stomachs were sent frozen to University of Alaska Fairbanks for identification. The carcasses were re-frozen immediately after organ and feather tissue removal, and stored at Moss Landing Marine Laboratories for further studies.

本数据集收录了2008年至2009年间，在普里比洛夫群岛（Pribilof Islands）圣乔治岛（St. George）、圣保罗岛（St. Paul）周边200公里海域内采集的鸟类组织样本的稳定同位素分析数据，采样范围向东南延伸至博戈斯洛夫岛（Bogoslof Island）。研究人员采用猎枪采集鸟类样本，取下颊羽、肌肉与肝脏组织用于稳定同位素分析；完整胃组织经冷冻处理后送至阿拉斯加大学费尔班克斯分校（University of Alaska Fairbanks）开展物种鉴定。在剥离组织与羽毛样本后，鸟类尸体随即被重新冷冻，并保存于莫斯兰丁海洋实验室（Moss Landing Marine Laboratories）以供后续研究使用。
