Abstract
Summary The behavior rhenium in surface seawater (0-30 m) was studied using the samples collected at three locations off the coast of Aomori Prefecture, Japan. The physico-chemical forms of Re in seawater from other locations were also studied to verify the Aomori findings. It was found that almost 100% of Re was in dissolved forms, mainly ReO4-, therefore, the Re concentration was constant from the surface to 30 m depth and ranged from 6.1-7.4 ng. kg-1. The Re concentration in the Sea of Japan side was slightly lower than those in the Pacific Ocean side. Possibly, low Re concentration was added by river waters from Japan and/or the Asian continent to the Sea of Japan side.
