  - 'This preliminary study investigates the trace-element composition of ostracod
    shells (Ostracoda: Crustacea) as biogenic calcium carbonates in their role as
    environmental sentinels of pollution. Using high-resolution in-situ analysis,
    we compared two contrasting coastal systems: the highly urbanized seascape of
    metropolitan megacity Hong Kong (HKSAR) and the agriculturally dominated waters
    of rural retreat Jeju Island, Republic of Korea (ROK). The goal was to assess
    whether anthropogenic stress gradients affect trace element-to‑calcium ratios
    (E/Ca) in the carapaces of shallow-marine Neonesidea Maddocks, 1969 species. Hereby,
    the focus is laid on potential differences in the effects of extreme urbanization
    and extreme agriculturalization. We analyzed 12 trace elements commonly incorporated
    into ostracod shells using Inductively Coupled Plasma–Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS).
    Only Mn/Ca, Mg/Ca, and Ni/Ca ratios showed strong correlations with specific seawater
    physicochemical parameters. Notably, Mn/Ca differed significantly between the
    two sites, seemingly driven mainly by variations in nitrite nitrogen levels. This
    suggests that Mn incorporation is sensitive to pollution source, urban versus
    agricultural, though species-specific uptake effects cannot be excluded. No significant
    differences in elemental uptake were found between adult and A-1 juvenile stages
    of Neonesidea mutsuensis Ishizaki, 1961 or Neonesidea elegans (Brady, 1969), supporting
    the use of both age groups in environmental reconstructions and increasing potential
    sample yields. While remaining empirical and exploratory, our tentative findings
    suggest that ostracod geochemistry holds promise for marine pollution monitoring
    and cautiously supports the application of ostracod Mn/Ca ratios to reconstruct
    anthropogenic, particularly nitrogen-related, impacts in nearshore environments
    using sediment core records.@eng'
