fall of 1943 sockeye salmon adults were exposed to 100 r doses of X-rays.
Some fish were used as "controls".
The young fish produced from these fish
were reared at the laboratory until migration size, when they were marked by
the removal of the adipose fin and a ventral fin.
The young fish were
then transported back to Cultus Lake and migrated to sea.
It was expected
that the survivors would return from the sea this fall as adults,
To date,
no marked fish have been recorded from this experiment,

Experimental work with microplankton and foéd chain studies has had to
await the completion of other projects before it again becomes an active part

The data collected at Bikini during the resurvey of 1947 has been
summarized into a preliminary report and copies have been forwarded to
the Atomic Energy Commission for distribution to responsible agencies.

During the month contact was maintained with the Hanford Engineering
Works, especially the personnel of the 146 Building.
Chinook salmon eggs were
transferred from the coast to the 146 Building to be used in continuation
of the monitoring studies and for new exploratory studies.
