Description:

Abstract:

This data set includes capture information and ethoxyresorufinOdeethylase (EROD) activity results for harlequin ducks sampled during March 2011, 2013, and 2014 in western Prince William Sound, Alaska.

Purpose:

These data are part of a body of work evaluating spatial and temporal variation in hepatic cytochrome P4501A induction (measured via EROD activity) as an indicator of exposure of harlequin ducks to residual oil from the 1989 Exxon Valdez spill.

The duck biomarker project is a component of the integrated Long-term Monitoring of Marine Conditions and Injured Resources and Services submitted by McCammon et al. in spring 2011 to the Exxon Valdez Oil Spill Trustees Council (EVOSTC). Sea duck populations in Prince William Sound (PWS) were injured as a result of the Exxon Valdez oil spill, with evidence for both immediate acute mortality and longer term injury from chronic exposure to oil spilled in 1989. It appears that full recovery was still not complete as of 2011. Prior EVOSTC projects have examined continuing exposure to lingering oil as a factor constraining recovery, using biomarker assays (the cytochrome P4501A biomarker, CYP1A, to evaluate oil exposure). Harlequin ducks had continued to show elevation of CYP1A in oiled areas through 2009, suggesting exposure was still a concern. Sampling harlequin ducks has continued in order to measure exposure of these nearshore residents to lingering oil and monitor the status of their recovery as injured species, and as indicators of recovery of the overall nearshore ecosystem.

Attribute_Accuracy_Report:

The following attribute values may have measurement error associated with them: body weight, EROD, age. Error has not been quantified nor estimated for these values which are assumed to be accurate.

The values entered for the attribute BAND may have error associated with transcription from the tag to field notes to this electronic file. For the purpose of this study, error in this attribute would be inconsequential as long as no two BANDs were the same.

Logical_Consistency_Report: not applicable
Completeness_Report:

There are no missing values in the 2011, 2013, and 2014 harlequin duck capture and EROD dataset.

Process_Step:

Process_Description:

Field data were entered on hard copy data sheets, with the active data collector calling out numbers and the data recorder repeating numbers and entering them on the hard copy data sheet. At the end of each day, data were entered into an excel spreadsheet, with one person reading the information from the data sheet out loud and another repeating the information and entering the data. At the end of the trip, data were proofed by having one person read all of the values from the hard data sheets and another checking and confirming them in the electronic file.
