Trace Elements in Cherry Salmon (Oncorhynchus masou) in the Southwestern Part of the Sea of Okhotsk

Abstract Excerpt:
The Far Eastern shores of Russia are washed by three large seasthe Bering, Okhotsk, and Sea of Japan—as well as the waters of the northwestern Pacific. Marine and oceanic waters of the western Pacific are exceptionally rich in aquatic biological resources—fish, sea animals, invertebrates, algae, and seagrasses. Concerning fish abundance, the main contribution is made by pelagic objects—pollock, herring, sardine-ivasi, and Pacific salmon.
