Stable isotopes of cultured Gigantidas childressi in deep-sea mussel culture

Stable isotopes (a: δ15N, b: δ13C) of G. childressi that experienced different nutritional regimes (CH4: 'M', algae + CH4: MA', only algae: 'A') in our culture. As reference, t0 animals were sampled upon arrival at GEOMAR after spending 2 months post-capture at Charles Fisher's 'deep-sea lab' aquarium system, Pennsylvania State University
