goadioh caught at Kabelle [stand

The radioactivity in muscle tissue

was reneraliy about the same in Kabelle and Enibuk reef fish.
Gamma radioactivity in (he muscle averaged about 26 per cent that
of the liver with variation of from 7 io 48 per cent.

Beta activity was

Slightly lower, the muscle to liver ratio averaging about 1°
with a range of from 5 to 27 per cent.

er cent,

The greatest difference in the

arounts of both gamma and beta radioactivity between liver and muscle
was found in the zoatfish.
Gamma Spectra

Gamma spectra were made on dried samples of tissue to determine
if gamma peaks other than those from expected fission products were
present.

The

gamma spectrum

obtained from various fiah

tissues are compared with spikes of radioactive cobalt and radioactive

zinc in Figure 3 (top, center panel)
The gamma spectra (made in October 1957) on whole
exhibited certain common
