Content:
Radioecology in Northern Euroepean Seas summarizes an extensive body of literature on the oceanographic and biological conditions involved in the transfer and accumulation of radionuclides in marine sediment and biota of the Northern European seas. Much of the information has been derived through many decades of investigation carried out by the Murmansk Marine Biological Institute. This book presents the original works, augmented and complemented by work conducted by other institutes during the nuclear era. The synthesis of this extensive body of information forms the basis of a new methodological and theoretical framework describing radionuclide bioaccumulation by marine invertebrate and vertebrate animals, paying special attention to marine food webs leading to humans.
Note:
1 History and methods -- 2 Sources and pathways of artificial radionuclides in northern seas -- 3 The pelagic ecosystem -- 4 The benthic zone -- 5 The coastal zone -- 6 Marine vertebrates -- 7 Transfer and assimilation of radionuclides in marine ecosystems -- 8 Radioactive monitoring principles for marine ecosystems -- Conclusion -- References.
