The article focuses on a study to investigate the levels of Cadmium (Cd), Copper (Cu) and Zinc (Zn) in Eurasian beaver (Castor fiber) and find their distribution among various organs. The Eurasian beavers (Castor fiber) were collected from river systems within the municipality of Bø Telemark County, Norway. A significant relationship was found between the animals condition and Cd concentrations in kidneys but not between such concentrations and other tissues. In kidneys and liver significant correlations were recorded between the Cd and Zn levels while the corresponding relationship was negative for hair concentrations. No such correlation between Cu concentrations and age. A negative correlation was found between age and Cu concentrations in North American beaver. |
