In order to investigate the relationship between the trace elements and the characteristics of the oysters,we analyzed the trace elements present in the germplasm of oysters from different producing areas in the Jiaozhou Bay.The element fingerprints were established to reflect the elemental characteristics of the oysters.Concentration patterns of the elements were deciphered by principle component analysis(PCA)and hierarchical cluster analysis(HCA).The six regions were discriminated with accuracy using HCA and PCA based on the concentration of 16 trace elements.The elements were viewed as characteristic elements of the oysters and the fingerprints of these elements could be used to distinguish the quality of the oysters.
