The elemental composition of fish otoliths may represent a permanent record of the environmental conditions an individual has experienced as trace elements, incorporated into the growing surface of the otolith, reflect the physical and chemical characteristics of the ambient water. We tested 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. Four elements (K, Mn, Sr, and Ba) showed significant variability among sites within rivers in August, although only Mg showed a significant site effect by October. Four elements (Mg, Mn, Sr, and Ba) differed significantly among rivers in both months. Linear discriminant functions based on the trace element signatures classified fish to their natal river with -90% accuracy in both August and October collections. The discriminant function generated from the August data was able to classify fish collected in October successfully with better than 80% accuracy. On the basis of our findings, the river of origin of adult fish could be accurately determined by quantifying the trace element composition of the juvenile portion of their otoliths.
A modified Bergener parallel path nebulizer was used for the generation of volatile metal species of Pt, Co, Ag, Cu, Rh, Pd, Au, Ni, Ir, Ti and Mn through reaction with tetrahydroborate (III). Several physicochemical factors were identified which impact on their yield which, at present, is estimated to range from 0.02-2% absolute.

A short reaction time (60 ms) and a rapid separation of the reaction products is obtained by mixing the acidi®ed sample and the sodium borohydride reductant solution at the tip of a cross-¯ow nebuliser. A modi®ed Scott spray chamber serves as a gas±liquid separator, providing 30 s wash-in and wash-out times. Analytical results generated by external calibration and isotope dilution methodologies agree well with the certi®ed values for Se in certi®ed biological reference materials DORM-2 and DOLT-2. Detection limits for Se and other hydride forming elements, i.e., As, Sn and Sb, are below 10 ng l 21 with typical precision of 2% RSD at the 10 ng ml 21 level. Volatile species o...

The material was prepared from 4.5 kg of dried saggital otolith harvested from the red snapper (Lutjanus campechanus), ball milled and sieved to o200 mesh, homogenized, irradiated, bottled into 1 g aliquots and certified for major, minor and trace element composition using inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), isotope dilution-ICP-MS, neutron activation, ICP-optical emission spectrometry and X-ray fluorescence. Several laboratories participated in this activity, providing for a robust estimate of each measurand. Certified values for seven elements (Ba, Ca, Li, Mg, Mn, Na and Sr) are reported, accompanied by full GUM uncertain...
