Abstract

Five species of scleractinean corals, extracted from the Northern Havana reef, were studied by INAA and AAS. Selected specimens were sectioned in foot, center and head parts before pulverization procedure. INAA for different irradiation and decay time regimes in a reactor allowed the determination of: Na, Mg, Al, Cl, Sc, Cr, Co, Th, Lu, Eu, Ce, Hf, La and Sr. AAS was performed in a Pye Unicam Model 929 spectrometer. Cu, Mn, Ni, Zn, and Fe were detected. Ca concentration in all species was also established. Obtained Metal-Calcium ratios for Sr, Cu, Zn, Cr, Co, Fe, Mn, Ni and Sc are compared with reported values.
