Measuring the body composition of antarctic fur seals (Arctocephalus gazella): Validation of hydrogen isotope dilution

We examined the accuracy of hydrogen isotope dilution (tritium and deuterium) as a means of determining total body water (TBW), and hence body composition, by comparison with whole-carcass chemical analysis in five adult female and four pup Antarctic fur seals. On average, tritium isotope (HTO) dilu...
