Chemical archives in fishes beyond otoliths: A review on the use of other body parts as chronological recorders of microchemical constituents for expanding interpretations of environmental, ecological, and life‐history changes (2017, background): “Conversely, d15N is generally slightly lower in scales than muscle tissue, with a reported maximum difference of 21.5& (Perga and Gerdeaux 2003; Kelly et al. 2006).”
Nonlethal Sampling of Fish Caudal Fins Yields Valuable Stable Isotope Data for Threatened and Endangered Fishes (2009, background): “When working with threatened or endangered species, such as many salmonid species in the Pacific Northwest, finding nonlethal alternatives for measuring stable isotope signatures is imperative ( Kelly et al. 2006 ).”
