OVERVIEW
"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.
