| Abstract: | Samples of livers of European otters from Denmark, Great Britain and Ireland were analyzed for manganese, chromium, zinc, copper, nickel and cobalt. Concentrations were generally significantly higher in samples from Great Britain. It was considered that this reflected the catchment geology from where the specimens originated. |
