The author would like to thank the
following persons for their help in the completion
of this project; Dr. Mason for his patience
and guidance throughout the project, CRG Marine Laboratories
for their generous use of the ICP-MS, and Kelly Thrippleton
for her assistance with the HPLC software.
Extra special thanks go out to Doug Lloyd
for his supreme knowledge and understanding of the HPLC. Without his
help, this project would not have gone as smoothly,
nor would I have been able to attain such excellent
chromatographic data. His patience and ability
to stay calm under pressure was key to the success
of the analysis of my samples.
