Trace elements and lipidomic datasets of stranding samples in the blubber of Turpsios truncatus from the Yucatan coast: Association with biological features.

ABSTRACT: The Yucatan coastal zone is an area that contributes to many anthropogenic activities resulting in substantial contamination (metals, pesticides) in aquatic organisms. The dolphin is an excellent sentinel animal used in studying contamination in this area. Some substances found in dolphins have been identified as toxic causing alterations in the properties of membranes and produce lipid peroxidation especially heavy metals. The dataset presented here is associated with the research article paper entitled "Trace element and lipidomic analysis of bottlenose dolphin blubber from the Yucatan coast: Lipid composition relationships". In this article, we presented the trace element concentrations found in blubber and their comparison with other studies performed in mammal marine organisms. Lipido
