Popis: The elemental composition of fish ear stones (otoliths) is used to inform upon environmental conditions, fish migrations, population structure, and nursery areas. We compared two nebuliser/spray chamber configurations for determining concentrations of Mg, Ca, Mn, Cu, Zn Rb, Sr, Ba, La and Pb in acidic otolith digests using flow injection ICPMS with: (1) cross-flow nebuliser/Scott spray chamber and (2) microconcentric nebuliser/Peltier-cooled cyclonic spray chamber. For most elements, both configurations had acceptable accuracy (within certified or indicative ranges) and precision (
