Abstract
Concentrations of lead, cadmium, zinc and copper in liver, kidney and bone samples of otter harvested during the 1979-1980 and 1980-1981 trapping seasons were determined by atomic absorption spectrophotometry. Correlations between metal concentrations and age for all three tissues were nonsignificant. Correlations among the concentrations of the four elements in liver and kidney samples were also nonsignificant for otter samples in both years. The highest correlation coefficient (0.47) was found between zinc and copper concentrations in liver samples from otters trapped during the 1979-1980 trapping season. (JMT)
