Distribution of trace elements in organs and tissues of three species of flounder from the Peter the Great Gulf (the Sea of Japan). S.V. CHUSOVITINA1, N.I. STEBLEVSKAYA1,2, N.V. POLYAKOVA2, E.A. ZHAD’KO1 (1Far East State Technical Fishery University (Dalrybvtuz), Vladivostok; 2Institute of Chemistry, FEB RAS, Vladivostok).
The distribution peculiarities of trace elements in tissues and organs of Glyptocephalus stelleri (Schmidt, 1904), Hippoglossoides dubius (Schmidt, 1904), Cleisthenes herzensteini (Schmidt, 1904) of the Peter the Great Bay of the Sea of Japan were studied. Fragments of musculature, gills, liver, skin, vertebrae, gonads, and kidneys were researched. The predominant accumulation of trace elements in the following organs and tissues of flounders was found: iron – in the liver and gills; copper, selenium, arsenic – in the liver; manganese, strontium, arsenic – in the bone tissue; zinc – in the gonads; nickel – in the muscles and skin.
