Abstract:

Forklengths in cm and stable isotope (δ¹³C, δ15N, and δ34S) values for fish collected from 10 sites across the northern Gulf of Mexico and bottlenose dolphins collected from St. George Sound. Feeding modes for each species were assigned based on the literature sources cited in column C.

Purpose:

To assess the influence of oil and gas on water column and sediment biogeochemical processes and the distribution of substances that affect biological productivity.
