58643 Entity Published / External 58439 Using the otolith sulcus to aid in prey identification and improve estimates of prey size in diet studies of a piscivorous predator Data Set Contains length measurements and mass collected from the stomach of the stranded dolphin PLease note that one or more length columns originally contained the word broken instead of a missing value in about 3% of the records. Since these are numeric columns, the value broken was moved to the newly added Column comments with the comment being Broken Length Measurement when the word broken was in a length column. All comments were concatenated when there were multiple broken measurements on the same record.
