Country of Origin: Japan Abstract: Pelagic fishes caught after an atomic explosion experiment at Bikini Atolls in the Pacific were examined by radiochemical techniques. Generally the radioactivity was large in liver, and heart, and then in pyloric ceca, stomach, kidney, intestine, gall bladder and gonad; there was little activity in skin, bone, and muscles. This order varied with species. Large radioactivity of the stomach contents did not necessarily mean large activity in the tissues, indicating considerable participation of diffusion of sea water into the fish body. Muscles from various sites showed slight difference in the activity. The dark muscle, however, showed several times as large activity as ordinary muscle.; Major Descriptors: *FISHES -- RADIONUCLIDE KINETICS; *FISSION PRODUCTS -TISSUE DISTRIBUTION Descriptors: BIKINI; BILIARY TRACT; GONADS; HEART; INTESTINES; KIDNEYS; LIVER; MUSCLES; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS; PACIFIC OCEAN; RADIOACTIVITY; RADIOCHEMICAL ANALYSIS; SKELETON; SKIN; STOMACH Broader Terms: ANIMALS; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; BODY; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; CHEMICAL ANALYSIS; DIGESTIVE SYSTEM; DISTRIBUTION; EXPLOSIONS; GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT; GLANDS; ISLANDS; ISOTOPES; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MATERIALS; MICRONESIA; OCEANIA; ORGANS; QUANTITATIVE CHEMICAL ANALYSIS; RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS; SEAS; SURFACE WATERS; VERTEBRATES Subject Categories: 520302* -- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Aquatic Ecosystems & Food Chains -(-1987) 560172 -- Radiation Effects -- Nuclide Kinetics & Toxicology -Animals -- (-1987) 450200 -- Military Technology, Explosions & Explosives 10/5/787 00792342 (Item 487 from file: EDB-81-100607 Weaponry, & National Defense -- Nuclear 103) Title: Distribution of the radioactivity in the sea around Bikini Atoll in June 1954 Author(s): Miyake, Y.; Affiliation: Meteorol.
