Prince William Sound food webs

Description:

Stable isotope analysis was performed on the periostracum of Mytilus californianus, collected on Middleton Island, to assess its potential paleoindictor for the northern Gulf of Alaska. The advective regime connecting the northern Gulf of Alaska with Prince William Sound fluctuates in its effect upon nutritional processes in fishes on an annual basis.
