Title: STUDIES ON MARINE FOOD CHAINS WHICH COULD INTRODUCE RADIOACTIVE MATERIALS TO MAN, AND ANNUAL CHANGES IN CERTAIN NATURAL POPULATIONS. Annual Progress Report, January 15, 1960-January 15, 1961

Technical Report ·
OSTI ID:4097940

An investigation was made oi the links in the food chain which could transmit radioactive matter in sea water through food fishes to man. Data are included on the stomach contents of food fishes landed at Gloucester. Massachusetts, during the summer of 1960. Progress is reported in studies to determine any marked changes in certain populations which may be attributed to fall-out radiation. Observations are included on marine communities at Cape Ann, Massachusetts; populations of Anostraea crustacea in Northeastern Ohio and East Central Illinois; a Gastropod population of the Salt Fork River, Illinois; the chimney swift population on the campus of Kent State University; the Japanese beetle population of the Kent-Ravenna area of Portage County, Ohio; and the population of fresh water jellyfish in Crystal Lake, Ohio. A list of publications during the period is included. (C.H.)
