Description

The amounts of several stable elements in mesopelagic organisms were measured to determine the concentration factors of these elements on the assumption that the contamination by the radioactive materials due to deep sea disposal of radioactive wastes. The concentration factor is one of the important parameters used to evaluate the internal radiation doses to man by the intake of the contaminated organisms. The levels of Cs-137 and Sr-90 due to fallout in the mesopelagic fishes were also investigated with interest in vertical transfer of the nuclides in the sea
