SUMMARY

Radioactivity expressed in d/m/g wet tissue of invertebrates at the

"ne

stations was as follows: Bikini Target Area, dredging, 1080; Bikini target ines.
104; Eniwetok shores - Eberiru (near Aomon-Biijiri), 1500; Runit, 750;

Enger:

490; Eniwetok dredging - off Eberiru, 140; off Bogon, 110. Less active staticns,,”
at both atolls ranged down to 0.6.

Considering all stations the most active spay a

included asteroid starfish, 5,100; hydroids, 2,100; oysters, 820; and sponges, 4%
Plankton-feeding invertebrates averaged significantly more activity than nom—2
ton~-feeders.
