Country of Origin: Japan Abstract: The radioactivity of several samples of Coryphaena Hippyrus caught in the southern Pacific in May, 1954, after the atomic explosion at Biki ni, was found, in decreasing order, in spleen, kidney, liver, pyloric ceca, heart, gill, intestine, gastric wall, ovary, testis, gastric content, red muscle, skin, vertebrae, and muscle. The red muscle of Neothunnus Macropterus showed 54.8 counts/min./0.20 g activity on dry basis, the activity was decreased to 27.6 by soaking 25 g. muscle in 25 cc. water, and to 14.1 by soaking in 0.5% Na ethylenediaminetetraacetate solution. The radioactive substances in these fish tissues were found, upon analysis, to belong to the III group, particularly to III-B group. Examination of synchroscope patterns by scintillation counter indicated the presence of /sup 65/Zn among the radioactive substances. /sup 90/Sr was suggested to be present in very small amount.; Major Descriptors: *FISHES CONTAMINATION; DISTRIBUTION *FISSION PRODUCTS -- TISSUE : BIKINI; GILLS; HEART; INTESTINES; KIDNEYS; LIVER; MUSCLES; NUCLEAR EXPLOSIONS; OVARIES; PACIFIC OCEAN; RADIOACTIVITY; RADIONUCLIDE KINETICS; SKIN; SPLEEN; STOMACH; STRONTIUM 90; TESTES; VERTEBRAE; ZINC Descriptors Subject Categories: 520302* S008014 65 Broader Terms: ALKALINE EARTH ISOTOPES; ANIMALS; AQUATIC ORGANISMS; BETA DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-MINUS DECAY RADIOISOTOPES; BETA-PLUS DECAY RADTIOIS OTOPES; BODY; CARDIOVASCULAR SYSTEM; DAYS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; DIGESTIVE SYSTEM; DISTRIBUTION; ELECTRON CAPTURE RADIOISOTOPES; EVEN-EVEN NUCLEI; EVEN-ODD NUCLEI; EXPLOSIONS; FEMALE GENITALS; GASTROINTESTINAL TRACT; GLANDS; GONADS; INTERMEDIATE MASS NUCLEI; ISLANDS; ISOTOPES; MALE GENITALS; MARSHALL ISLANDS; MICRONESIA; NU CLEI; OCEANIA; ORGANS ; RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS; RADIOISOTOPES; RESPIRATORY SYSTEM; SEAS; SKELETON; STRONTIUM ISOTOPES; SURFACE WATERS; VERTEBRATES ; YEARS LIVING RADIOISOTOPES; ZINC ISOTOPES -- Environment, Aquatic -- Radioactive Materials Monitoring & Transport -- Aquatic Ecosystems & Food Chains -(-1987) 560172 Animals -- Radiation Effects -- Nuclide Kinetics & Toxicology --- (-1987) 450200 -- Military Technology, Explosions & Explosives Weaponry, & National Defense -- Nuclear
