Abstract Shrimp samples from aquaculture ponds supplied with either freshwater (0.2–1.3 g L−1 salinity) or seawater (27.6–39.0 g L−1 salinity) were subjected to elemental profiling and to stable isotope analysis. Concentrations of 35 trace elements, including rare earth elements (REEs) were analyzed by ICP-MS, and the δ13C and δ15N concentrations were analyzed by IRMS in samples of peeled un-deveined (PUD) shrimp and in shrimp feed. Concentrations of 13 elements in pond water could be measured by ICP-MS. The analysis results showed that feeds offered to shrimp in freshwater and seawater did not differ in elemental concentrations (P
