Small Tails Tell Tall Tales – Intra-Individual Variation in the Stable Isotope Values of Fish Fin

Hayden, BryanCunjak, Richard A.2023-03-022023-03-022015https://unbscholar.lib.unb.ca/handle/1882/22392... To account for the effects of intra-fin variability in stable isotope analyses we suggest that researchers sampling fish fin, in increasing priority, 1) also analyse muscle (or liver) tissue from a subsample of fish to calibrate their data, or 2) standardize sampling by selecting tissue only from the extreme tip of a fin, or 3) homogenize fins prior to analysis.Englishhttp://purl.org/coar/access_right/c_abf2Small Tails Tell Tall Tales – Intra-Individual Variation in the Stable Isotope Values of Fish Finjournal articlehttp://journals.plos.org/plosone/article?id=10.1371/journal.pone.0145154Biology
