TL;DR: In this paper, a marine fish (Leiostomus xanthurus) reared in the laboratory under controlled experimental conditions was used to validate the assumption that trace metals in otoliths are deposited in proportion to dissolved concentrations in the ambient environment.

TL;DR: In this article, the utility of trace element signatures in otoliths as natural tags of the river of origin of juvenile American shad (Alosa supidissima) collected from the Connecticut, Hudson and Delaware Rivers in August and October 1994.

TL;DR: In this article, the application of inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS) to the determination of eight trace metals in a coastal seawater reference material is described.

TL;DR: In this article, the effect of 0.01 M concentrations of several concomitant elements (Li, Na, K, Cs, Mg, Ca, B, Al and U) on the signal of 100 μg l concentrations of test analytes (V, Cr, Mn, Ni, Co, Cu, Zn, Cd and Pb) has been studied at a single set of operating conditions used for multielement ICP-MS analysis.

TL;DR: The arsenic species present in a dogfish muscle reference material (DORM-1) have been identified by using high-performance liquid chromatography/inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, thin-layer chromatography, and electron impact mass Spectrometry and quantified by using HPLC/ICP-MS and graphite furnace atomic absorption spectrometer.
