a population of T.

maxima from Enewetak

Atoll,

(Eniwetok)

with an

average heterozygosity of about 20 percent, very high for marine
organisms. Enewetak Atoll was the site of a series of nuclear tests.
The Heron Island study verifies that the high variability is natural,
and supports the hypothesis that species from trophically stable
environments tend to be highly variable genetically.;

Abstract: In June of 1975 a survey was conducted to determine the residual
radioactivity in the terrestrial environment on the two main islands
(Eneu and Bikini) of Bikini Atoll. The objective was to evaluate the
potential radiation doses that could be received by the Bikinians
scheduled to return to their atoll. This report describes the
radiological quality of the groundwater during June 1975 (from data
obtained from water samples collected at old and new well sites on both
islets) and the cistern water on Bikini island. Based on the analyses
of these samples, the cistern water from Bikini Island is both
chemically and radiologically acceptable as drinking water in
accordance with standard limits established by the U. S. Public Health
Service. On both islands the quality of the ground water varies from
one site to another. At some wells both chemical and radiological
quality are acceptable; at others one or both is unacceptable according
to U. S. Public Health Standards. (auth);
