DRAFT Sec One bottom sample which was obtained from Ailinginee lagocn gave a count of 904 cpm/g which is about one-half the activity found in the east end on Bikini lagoon. 2.9 LAGOON PHYTOPLANKTON SAMPLES Several phytoplankton net hauls were teken in Bikini and Ailinginze lagoons with a standard #20 phytoplankton ust. amounts captured were very emall. The We identificetion cof the ecn- tents was atteupted and ne means were évailable to seperate inerganie debris frem living crganisms. The diluted sample was filtered through a millipore filter, which was counted for garma and beta activity. The samples from Ailinginae showec a count of 21 gamma cpm and 26 beta epm for the entire haul, whereas a sauple taken from the open csean at staticn #& shoved ac detecteble activity. One very small sample at the east end of Bixini lagoon gave 398 cpm gamma and 429 epm beta while the greatest activity was found in the nerthwest area cf Fikini vith 8,500 gamma cpm in @ very small sarcple. ~2010 MISCELLANEOUS SURVEY Several spct checks were made on the plant life from “NAN (Enyu) in-Bikint Atcll and from the vestern end of Ailinginae Atoll. The meat of three sreen coconuts from NAN averaged 146 epm/g while the milk from the same nuts vas 184 cpuw/gz. coconut ebtained frem Ailinginae indicated 116 epm’g. A ripe A gresn coconut from the same area gave 62 cpm’g for the meet and 129 cpm¢ for the milk. A kernel from the pandanus fruit frem Ailinginae emitted 64 cpm/g. > OY 29 gp
