Stable isotope values of carbon and nitrogen were measured for use in mixing models to assess the relative contribution of marine and terrestrial organic matter to the fish food-webs, while radiocarbon was analyzed to assess the age and sources of carbon used by fish in the nearshore Beaufort Sea, Alaska.
