Entity Type
Spreadsheet

Data Attribute / Type	Description
Date_Processed DATE	Date the tissue sample was processed in the laboratory.
Sample_Number NUMBER	Laboratory vial number.
Sample_ID VARCHAR2	Sample identification number, generally consisting of the first initial of the Genus and species names, respectively, the last two digits of the sampling year, and the sequential number of the individual shark collected in that sampling year.
Species VARCHAR2	Scientific name (http://www.fishbase.org/search.php).
Tissue VARCHAR2	Tissue type; in this case, all samples consisted of white muscle tissue plugs collected by small 0.5 cubic cm biopsies.
Preservation VARCHAR2	Tissue preservation method.
d15N NUMBER	Stable isotope ratio of carbon, expressed in typical delta notation form, where d13C = [(Rsample / Rstandard) - 1] 1000. In this equation, R is the ratio of 13C/12C isotope values; Rsample represents the tissue sample ratio and Rstandard represent the universal reference standard: PeeDee Belemnite.
d13C NUMBER	Stable isotope ratio of nitrogen, expressed in typical delta notation form, where d15N = [(Rsample / Rstandard) - 1] 1000. In this equation, R is the ratio of 15N/14N isotope values; Rsample represents the tissue sample ratio and Rstandard represent the universal reference standard: atmospheric nitrogen gas.
C:N NUMBER	Ratio of total carbon to total nitrogen in the sample tissue.
Total_Length NUMBER	Total length, defined as the length from the anterior-most part of the shark to the tip of the longest caudal fin. Units for values are cm.
Weight NUMBER	Total body weight. Units for values are kg.
Sex VARCHAR2	Sex, as determined by external examination of claspers (http://nefsc.noaa.gov/nefsc/Narragansett/sharks/sexdet.html).
Collection_Location VARCHAR2	Location the shark was collected, generally based on place names (bays, points) in Washington State.
Collection_Date DATE	Date the tissue sample was collected from the shark.
