Study reveals how eel ear bones provide insights into trace metal sources on the continental shelf

Scientists from the University of Georgia Skidaway Institute of Oceanography (SkIO) have discovered that the ear bones of moray eels provide important clues about the sources of trace metals on the outer continental shelf. By studying the trace metals found in these non-migratory fish, scientists can better predict areas of significant ocean activity, such as upwelling, and groundwater intrusion.
