These samples are focused on sharks (primarily blue, mako and common thresher), groundfish (primarily Sebastes spp.), and highly migratory species (tunas, billfish, yellowtail, opah) but also contain assorted other samples including parasites from some animals, eggs and larvae, and abalone (primarily pink abalone).
