The scales of whitefish __Coregonus lavaretus__ were used in place of dorsal muscle, which necessitates killing the fish, to study food webs from the δ^13^C and δ^15^N isotopic ratios in the organic fraction. As scales are composed of both organic and calcified fractions, a protocol for scale decalc
