Each line of data in this comma-delimited file represents a sample of a marine animal collected from the vicinity of Port Aransas. The file reports information about the sample and the amounts of individual fatty acids (expressed as a percentage of total fatty acids) plus sums and ratios of those variables for the whole animal.
