I'm currently working on OM sources fueling fish communities in the North Sea. I have a dataset of C and N isotopic ratios for fish and I would like to include benthic, pelagic and riverine OM end-members in an isotopic mixing models. I have values for benthic and pelagic productions, but I can’t find papers presenting isotopic ratios for main rivers flowing into the North Sea. Is someone aware of such dataset?
Thanks in advance

In this paper, d15N and d13C of POM were measured in the rivers Rhine and Elbe: Hellmann C, Worischka S, Mehler E, Becker J, Gergs R, Winkelmann C (2015) The trophic function of Dikerogammarus villosus (Sowinsky, 1894) in invaded rivers: a case study in the Elbe and Rhine.

Maybe additional unpublished data are available in their lab?
