Dear Zooarch subscribers
I am a PhD student with the dept of Marine Sciences at the
University of Newcastle . Currently i am just starting a PhD
investigating large scale changes in north Atlantic food webs. This
will be done by looking at stable isotopes of C and N in tissues of
top consumers in marine food webs such as fish or seals. One aspect
of paticular interest is the condition of the Atlantic and North Sea
historically, for example in Roman, Viking, Medieval orTudor periods.
I am therefore asking whether anyone has any suitable samples they
may be willing donate, any information on where such material may be
found or indeed any advice or information which may be relevant.
Teeth, bone, fish otoliths and similar such materials is particularly
useful.
I would be most grateful for your assistance.
