| Conventional nebulisation ICPMS (Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry), was used to determine the concentration of a broad range of elements in the salmon louse Lepeophtheirus salmonis.

Sixty six elements were measured, 35 of these were found to be variable and were subjected to univariate and multivariate statistical analysis.
