Abstract: Radioactive /sup 207/Bi, produced during nuclear testing at the
Pacific Proving Grounds, concentrates in the muscle tissue and organs
of goatfish and certain pelagic lagoon fish from Bikini and Enewetak
Atolls. It is reasonable to expect that fish capable of accumulating
/sup 207/Bi could also be efficient accumulators of other bismuth

isotopes - namely /sup 210/Bi, the daughter of naturally occurring /sup
210/Pb. Therefore, /sup 210/Bi and consequently /sup 210/Po, the decay

product of /sup 210/Bi,

would be expected in notable excess over the

precursor /sup 210/Pb in specific tissues. To test this assumption, we
compared concentrations of /sup 210/Pb, /sup 210/Bi, and /sup 210/Po in
muscle,

liver,

and bone separated from some reef species from the

Marshall Islands. Concentrations of /sup 210/Bi in muscle and liver
were found to exceed those of its precursor by factors of 2 to 15.

excess /sup 210/Bi in some species, however,

environmental sources

(either food or water)

is not from the

The

from which /sup 207/Bi is

derived. The data suggest that the excess /sup 210/Bi may be
translocated to muscle and liver tissue following the decay of /sup

210/Pb in bone.
