Abstract

This dataset provides C and N stable isotope data for invertebrates collected by ROV from the Western Flyer 0521 (May 2021) at the Del Mar and Santa Monica Seeps and the Falkor 210726 in August 2021 at Lasuen Seep. There are also POC/PON data for one surface and one near bottom water sample collected by CTD. δ13C and δ15N measurements were made on 0.2-4 mg dry-weight samples combusted using an elemental analyzer interfaced to a continuous flow isotope ratio mass spectrometer at the Stable Isot...

Carbon and nitrogen stable isotope data for invertebrates were collected by ROV from the R/V Western Flyer 0521 (May 2021) at the Del Mar Seep (35.9°N, -117.766667°E) and Santa Monica Seep (33.799438°N, -118.64672°E) and from the R/V Falkor 210726 in August 2021 at Lasuen Seep (33.388589°N, -118.007°E).  There are also POC/PON  data for one surface and one near bottom water sample collected by CTD. 

Sampling was performed by ROV manipulator, collecting rocks, pushcores, and slurps. Tissue samples for isotope analysis were preserved frozen.
