Beschreibungen/Notizen

• The levels of iron, copper and zinc and their seasonal variation among shrimps of the genus Penaeus, from two areas of the Caribbean Sea of northeastern Venezuela are reported. The shrimps studied were between 10 and 26 cm in length. Significant seasonal variations in the concentrations of copper and iron were observed among shrimps of both sexes, while that of zinc remained virtually unchanged throughout the year. The concentration of iron was very different between the areas.
