The /sup 238/Pu concentrations of varous tissues were measured for seven species of freshwater fish from an ecosystem containing elevated levels of /sup 238/Pu. The highest levels of /sup 238/Pu were found in the gastrointestinal tracts and gills, while the lowest levels were found in muscle tissue. A rapid uptake of /sup 238/Pu was observed for hatchery bluegills introduced into this system. High plutonium concentrations in the gastrointestinal tracts and gills suggest that these organs are potential uptake sites. The presence of /sup 238/Pu in certain tissues (liver, gonads, bone, and muscle) indicates that there is a translocation of /sup 238/Pu from the uptake sites.
