Trace and Toxic Elements Accumulation in Food Chain Representatives at Livingston Island (Antarctica)

First data for concentrations and distribution of trace and toxic elements in tissues and organs of brown skua(Catharacta lonnbergi), Gentoo penguin (Pygoscelis papua), crabeater seal (Lobodon carcinophagus), notothenioid fish(Notothenia coriiceps) and in krill (Euphausia superba), collected on Livi...
