Abstract
Strontium counts from proton microprobe analysis of the surfaces of se ctions of otoliths from two species of deepwater rattails Tractyrincus murrayi and Coryphaenoides mediterraneus were compared with delta(18) O measurements from microsamples drilled from the otoliths. Strontium counts from microprobe analysis had negative linear regressions when r egressed on delta(18)O measurements. The slopes of the regression line s were similar for the two species.
