Description:Research at the Radiobiological Laboratory is concerned with three general problems: (1) the fate of radioactive materials in the estuarine environment, (2) the effect of radiation on marine organisms, and (3) the application of radioactive tracer techniques to fishery biology. To obtain this data three approaches have been used. In the past much data has been collected in the laboratory in order to be able to predict what might happen to radioactive materials introduced into the marine environment. More recently the use of tanks and ponds has permitted the testing of questionable findings obtained in the laboratory. Present plans are to observe the cycling of radioisotopes in certain natural bodies of water, restricted from the public. Already, some such studies have been completed. In our opinion data collected by these three approaches, when integrated and correlated, will make for a better understanding of the role of plants and animals in the cycling of radioactivity in estuaries and marine areas. Research completed during the past year is summarized in the following paragraphs.
