Hi Mat, I'd also recommend Szpak et al. 2013 "Regional Ecological Variability and Impact of the Maritime Fur Trade on Nearshore Ecosystems in southern Haida Gwaii (British Columbia, Canada): Evidence from Stable Isotope Analysis of Rockfish (Sebastes spp.) Bone Collagen" Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences 5(2): 159-182. You might want to check out his other publications, I believe he may have a few more on fish isotopes. Best Suzanne On Tue, Oct 29, 2013 at 5:55 AM, Dr J.H.
