Stienen, Eric Availability: Unrestricted after moratorium period
Data are initially restricted, but the access condition relaxes to academic or unrestricted once a specified period of time after an event (such as collection, publication, completion of QC procedures or project cessation) has elapsed Description

Diet composition Methodology
Diet composition: Stranded birds stomac analysis Fresh corpses of fish eating seabirds found during beached birds surveys are stored in freezer and are dissected to determine diet composition. Food remains are seperated and analysed under binocular. Length of fish otoliths are identified and measured under microscope to a precision of 0,01 mm. Contributors
