Entity Information

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.
