North Pacific salmon (Oncorhynchus spp.) were caught by deploying trawl nets in April (4-18) 2022 during the winter expeditions of the International Year of the Salmon to the North Pacific high seas onboard the F/V Northwest Explorer. Trawl nets were deployed at each station in the top 50 meters of the water column and towed for 60 minutes (night) or 90 minutes (day) at 4 to 5 knots. A 2x2 cm sample of salmon muscle tissue was collected from above the lateral line and in front of the dorsal fin and stored at -80°C. Muscle samples were then processed in the laboratory at the University of British Columbia. Tissue was lyophilized in freeze drier for 48 hours, homogenized using mortar and pestle, encapsulated in tin (Sn) capsules, and sent for measurements of carbon and nitrogen stable isotope ratios and elemental contents at an external lab. Samples were analysed on an Elemental Analyser coupled to an Isotope Ratio Mass Spectrometer. Details on analytical procedure are provided in the supplementary materials 1 and 2.
