Pacific s<strong>and</strong>dab otolith elemental signatures<br />
<strong>The</strong> variability in the concentration <strong>of</strong> individual elements in s<strong>and</strong>dab otoliths differed between habitat<br />
types <strong>and</strong> geographic areas. Univariate two-way ANOVA model (habitat x geographic area) showed that<br />
Ba Ca -1 <strong>and</strong> Fe Ca -1 differed between platforms <strong>and</strong> natural sites; <strong>and</strong> Ba Ca -1 Mg Ca -1 , Sr Ca -1 , Mn Ca -1 , Cu<br />
Ca -1 differed among geographic areas (Table 6).<br />
Table 6. Two-way ANOVA comparing trace element concentrations (expressed as Element Ca -1 , log (x+1) transformed) in otoliths <strong>of</strong><br />
Pacific s<strong>and</strong>dab between habitats (platforms <strong>and</strong> natural) <strong>and</strong> six geographic areas. <strong>The</strong> two factors were fixed in the analysis. SS, Sum<strong>of</strong>-squares;<br />
