Abstract

90Sr and 137Cs were determined in 11 different tissues of the fin whale and 2 different tissues of the harp seal. Muscle tissue in most instances contained more 137Cs than did the other tissues that were examined. The average concentration of 137Cs in whale muscle was 4.5 pCi/g ash and in adult seal muscle was 2.5 pCi/g ash. The highest concentration (3.5 pCi/g ash) of 90Sr was found in whale blubber.
