Abstract

This article presents the first data on the contents of ash, organic carbon, proteins, lipids, major (Na, Mg, P, S, K, and Ca), trace (Li, Be, B, Al, Ti, V, Cr, Mn, Fe, Co, Ni, Zn, Ga, As, Se, Rb, Sr, Mo, Ag, Cd, Sn, Sb, Cs, Ba, Re, Hg, Tl, Pb, Bi, Th, and U) and rare-earth elements (Sc, Y, La, Ce, Pr, Nd, Sm, Eu, Gd, Tb, Dy, Ho, Er, Tm, Yb, and Lu) in two species of the brown algae (Laminaria digitata and Fucus distichus) from the bays of the eastern coast of the Novaya Zemlya Archipelago (the Kara Sea).
