Isotope values on modern fish tissue were adjusted for differences between tissue types and between ancient and modern tissues due to the Suess effect as follows (after ref. 69; see text for further details.): δ13C prehistoric fish tissue = δ13C modern fish tissue + 1‰; δ13C fish collagen = δ13C fish muscle + 2.5‰; δ15N fish collagen = δ15N fish muscle − 1‰.
