Description

Neutron activation analysis and 28Mg2+ as radiotracer were used to measure magnesium distribution in fish and magnesium flows between carp and water. A novel tracer kinetic approach was applied to determine magnesium flows ''to fish from water'' (Ffw) and ''to water from plasma (fish)'' (Fwp). This revealed that Ffw < Fwp and thus pointing to another magnesium source than water, namely food. (author)
