Description:Investigations of the Radiobiological Program have been concerned with the accumulation of radionuclides by marine organisms, estuarine radioecological studies, and the effects of ionizing radiations on marine organisms. The uptake, accumulation, and retention of fission products and certain neutron-induced radionuclides by phytoplankton, zooplankton, molluscs, crustaceans, and fish have been followed. During the fall of 1960 a radioecological survey of the Savannah Estuary was started as a cooperative agreement between the Bureau of Commercial Fisheries and the Public Health Service. The effects of ionizing radiations on marine fishery organisms are being observed, with methods and techniques devised for detecting damage. An X-ray machine has been purchased so that the sensitivity of marine organisms to this type of radiation can be compared with the large number of references in the literature concerned with the effects of X-rays on terrestrial plants and animals.
