Trace Metals in Lake Cayuga Lake Trout (<i>Salvelinus namaycush</i>) in Relation to Age

Abstract

Chromium concentration increased and molybdenum and tin concentrations decreased in Lake Cayuga lake trout (Salvelinus namaycush) from age 1 to 12 yr. The concentration of the rare element rhodium ranged from about 100 to 200 ppb. The concentrations of 33 other trace metals in the fish are reported.
