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: Analysis faeces Gathering of faeces in surroundings of 20 nests right before hatchin of eggs. Lab analysis: faeces are washed and 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.
