Macoma Clam Prey Identified by DNA Metabarcoding, 2018 and 2019, Alaska
May 12, 2025
This dataset describes sequence data derived from 18S ribosomal and ribulose bisphosphate carboxylase (rbcL) DNA. Stomach contents from 190 Macoma calcarea clams were examined for this study. Clams were collected from the Bering Sea and Chukchi Sea, Alaska in 2018 and 2019 using benthic van Veen grabs.
