Ks exhibited the highest Fe, and the lowest Zn, Cu and Mn tissue concentrations. The Kogiid and Delphinid groups were significantly categorized by nMDS analysis. Fe muscle concentrations were found to be positively correlated with Ks, Lh, and Gg but not Sa body length. The different levels of Zn-, Cu-, and Mn- tissue concentrations of the two families were due to their different SOD systems. Their calves contained higher Cu liver concentrations. The four essential elements in cetaceans regulate homeostasis to meet their eco-physiological demand. The baseline levels for these four elements in these four tissues in the Delphinid group are defined. ? 2020 The Author(s) |
