I removed "ten percent of the blood cell pigment of the sea cucumber is vanadium. [cite web | last = Natkin | first = Michael | title = Blood Color | work = Science Facts | publisher = Soak (Source Of All Knowledge) | date = 2007 | url = http://www.soak.com/topic/sciencefacts/article/tshow/98556/blood+color | accessdate = 2007-11-16 ]" as the source no longer exists and the fact is not confirmed in academic literature. Furthermore, evidence exists strongly indicating the contrary: sea cucumbers do not concentrate vanadium, I cited sources in the article. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Scientific29 (talk • contribs) 17:37, 1 August 2010 (UTC)
 * I have seen this "fact" circulate widely on the internet, and I think it's well worth explaining in this article that it is not true after all. Many non-scientific sources make the same clame about beetles, and I can't find any verification for this either. 2601:441:5000:13E0:4950:4EC4:9683:602C (talk) 00:35, 19 November 2023 (UTC)

"The world oceans carry diluted concentrations of rare minerals. Total amount of gold, silver, manganese and platinum" - not really...
I have a strong feeling, that the word "mineral" was here used mistakenly for "mineral substances"... The dissolved Au, Pt, Ag, Mn, V, etc. are not MINERALS but MINERAL SUBSTANCES... A mineral is always CRYSTALLINE (and, as such, not bioavailable). Eudialytos (talk) 16:28, 16 December 2017 (UTC)
