Description:
Abstract:
This data set documents the carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios of age-0 Arctic cisco (Coregonus autumnalis) captured in Prudhoe Bay, Alaska in August 2009. The analysis of this data was published in von Biela et al. 2013 (Polar Biology 36:137-146, doi:10.1007/s00300-012-1244-x). All stable isotope results were provided by the University of Alaska Anchorage Environmental and Natural Resources Institute (ENRI) Stable Isotope Laboratory. The Stable Isotope Facility was led by Dr. Jeffery Welker and managed by Brian Cohn at the time of the analysis.
Purpose:
The data were obtained to assess the relative contributions of terrestrial and marine sources of primary production in juvenile (age-0) Arctic cisco.

Taxonomic_Procedures: expert advice;identification keys
Taxonomic_Completeness:
Many of the diet items were not identified to species. Items were identified to lowest taxoniomic level possible due to the constraints of identifying closely related species when specimens have been partially digested by the fish.
General_Taxonomic_Coverage:
The data is specific to the feeding habits of age-0 Arctic cisco (Coregonus autumnalis).

Methodology_Description:
From von Biela et al. 2013 (Polar Biology 36: 137-146): Fish were thawed and fork length was measured to the nearest millimeter. An epaxial muscle sample was removed from each fish and frozen for stable isotope analysis. The cardiac and pyloric sections of the stomach were removed and weighed before and after stomach content removal to the nearest 0.001g. All prey items were fixed in 10% formalin for several weeks and later preserved in a 70% ethanol solution. Prey items were identified to the lowest taxonomic level possible and counted under a dissection microscope. For each taxonomic group a voucher specimen was collected for reference. Epaxial muscle samples were freeze dried and subsampled for stable isotope analysis at the University of Alaska Anchorage, ENRI Stable Isotope Laboratory. Each sample was analyzed for δ13C (ratio of 13C/12C) and δ15N (ratio of 15N/14N ) using a Costech 4010 Elemental analyzer (Costech Analytical, Valencia, CA) interfaced with a Thermo-Finnigan Delta Plus XP continuous-flow stable isotope ratio mass spectrometer (Thermo Electron Corp., Waltham, MA). Stable isotope ratios were reported using standard delta notation. Lipids were not extracted prior to analysis as Arctic cisco muscle has minimal lipid content (<5%) and terrestrial and marine nutrient sources have sufficiently different end members so that lipid correction is not critical to interpretation (Post et al. 2007; Logan et al. 2008; Tomy et al. 2009). Differences in stable isotope ratios among fish from difference length classes are likely independent of body size per se and reflect shifts in diet (Vinagre et al. 2011a).

Methodology_Description:
From von Biela et al. 2013 (Polar Biology 36: 137-146): All YOY Arctic cisco were collected in August 2009 during annual monitoring of the YOY migration near Prudhoe Bay, Alaska, using nearshore fyke nets in water depths of <2m (sites 214, 218, 220 and 230 from Fig. 1 in Fechhelm et al. 1999; Fig. 1) . Arctic cisco were classified as YOY if fork length was <90 mm (Fechhelm et al. 2007). Fish were immediately frozen at capture and shipped to the USGS Alaska Science Center in Anchorage.

Process_Step:
Process_Description:
Measured carbon and nitrogen isotope values are calibrated to both internal and national standards. Ten internal known standards are run with each batch of 40 unknown samples to assure quality control; a practice that is very similar to all major isotope labs in the US and globally.
