Description
As part of the "Improving methodology to assess finfish, pelagic, data-limited, and non-quota stocks to inform management advice." project under the WP2.5 "Assessment of otolith microchemistry (e.g., plaice and sole, herring, sprat, sardine and horse mackerel)" Cefas are seeking a suitable supplier to conduct otolith microchemistry analysis via Laser Ablation-Inductively Coupled Plasma-Mass Spectrometer (LA-ICP-MS) for tracing several elements (Li6,Li7, Na23, Mg24, Ca43, Ca44, Mn55, Co59, Cu63, Cu65, Zn66, Rb85, Sr86, Sr87, Sr88, Cd112, Ba138, Ba137, Pb208, Pb207) of the above-mentioned species. For the purpose of the research and quality control, Cefas request the use of specific calibration standards including NIST610, NIST612, NIST614, MACS-1 and, more importantly, otolith-specific standards such as FEBS-1 and Nies 22. We require a continuous transect core-to-edge otolith sampling design for each otolith with the ability to easily isolate the core-only and edge-only transects for specific analysis. Ablation patterns including laser size, length, speed and other variables will be discussed as a species-by-species case. Cefas will be providing samples embedded in glass slide…
