BS>Contaminatibn and Absorption of Sr/sup 90/ and Cs/sup 137/ by Prochilodus lineatus or platensis (sabalo) is studied. A contamination of its "habitat'' (Rio de la Plata) would create health problems because of the industrialization along the river and use of the water for purposes related to the biological cycle. The distribution of the elements in various organs and tissues of the fish was determined. The results were compared with those obtained by other workers. (J.S.R.)
