Trace metals in the bones of scaup ducks (Aythya marila L.) wintering in Gdańsk Bay, Baltic Sea, 1982-83 and 1983-84.
The concentrations of Fe, Zn, Mn, Cu, Pb, Cd, Co, Ni, Cr and Ag in 88 samples of various bones and five samples of trachea prepared from scaup ducks (Aythya marila L.) have been determined. With the exception of lead, no significant sex-related differences were observed for the concentration of metals. However, there were significant differences in the concentrations of most metals for different bones.
