INTRODUCTION

Numerous investigations of 137Cs bioaccumulashytion in fish began in the mid 1960s after major test i ng of thermonucl ear bombs and monitori ng of the resultant atmospheric fallout of radionucshylides Concentration factors (pCig in fish pCig in water) of from 55 (Porcella and Friend 1966) to 23000 (Kolehmainen et al 1966 1968) have been reported for a wide variety of fish species There is still concern about the mechanism of 137Cs acshycumulation in freshwater biota since the isotope is released in the liquid waste from nuclear power station reactors J inks and Wrenn (1976) modelled radiocesium uptake in fish by examining accumulashytion both directly from water through gills or inshygestion and indirectly from contaminated food Kolehmainen et al (1968) postulated four major factors governing levels of 137Cs in fish (1) 137Cs activity in the water (2) K concentration in the water (3) 137Cs activity of food sources and (4) the biological half-time of 137Cs in fish

226Ra is a naturally occurring radionucl ide which is an important contributor to the total radshyiation dose of man As well waste waters from urshyanium mines and mills often discharged into surshyrounding surface waters may contain high activishyties of 226Ra Havl ik (1970) reported an increase in 226Ra at Elliott Lake in an area of uranium ore exploration and mining from lt1 pCiL to 10-222 pCiL

The purpose of this study was to obtain backshyground data on the accumulation of 137Cs and 226Ra in several fish species Lakes chosen for sampling received onl globally distributed atmospheric fallout of 13 Cs and natural inputs of 226Ra They also represented different limnological features The west basin and McLeod and Christie Bays of Great Slave Lake (61-63degN 110-118degW) in the Northshywest Territories were sampled separately as were the north and south basins of Lake Winnipeg (51shy54degN 96-98degW) Basic limnological information on Great Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg can be found in Rawson (1950) and in Brunskill et al (1980) resshypectively Fish were also obtained from two Preshycambrian Shield Lakes in the Experimental Lakes Area northwestern Ontario (Brunskill et al 1971 and other papers in this vol ume) and fran Loui s Lake on the Saskatchewan-NWI border (61deg07N 104deg49W) The limnology of Louis Lake has not been studied Although it was not possible to obshytain the same species at all stations in total nine species were analyzed lake whitefish (Coreshy901~S clupeaformis) round whitefish ProsClTUm c ndraceum) ci sco (Core onus artedi ake trout Sa velinus namaycus sauger (Stizostedion canadense) burbot (Lota lota) longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomuiJ northern pi ke (E sox 1 ucshy~) and inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys) -- -shy

METHODS

FISH SAMPLES

Lake and round whitefish trout cisco longshynose sucker burbot pi ke and i nconnu from Great Slave Lake NWT were gillnetted during April and September 1978 at three stat ions near Snowdrift in Christie Bay off Fort Resolution in the West

Basin and near Fort Rel iance in McLeod Bay Total weight fork length and sex were detennined in the field The fish were then commercially dressed (head and viscera removed) frozen and shipped by air to the Freshwater Institute

Sauger were taken in a trapnet off Elk Island in the South Basin of Lake Winnipeg in June 1979 and lake whitefish in February from commercial gillnetting operations north of Long Point in the North Basin Whole fish were shipped to Winnipeg where they were coomercially dressed before analyshysis Fork lengths and total weights for saugers were taken on site lake whitefish were measured after defrosting in our laboratory

Lake whitefish and trout from Lakes 302S 226SW and 223 in the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) northwestern Ontario were gillnetted in the fall of 1979 Lake 302S fish had heads and viscera reshymoved in the field while the others were shipped whole to Winnipeg

In October 1978 after an unexplained fish kill in Louis Lake near the Saskatchewan-NWT boundary dead fish were collected fran along the lake shore frozen and shipped whole to the Instishytute for investigation We incl uded these fish in our survey although they were not sampled in the same manner and could not be gutted due to their partially decayed state

Fish samples were stored at -40degC and batches of samples were defrosted in a microwave oven as required If necessary fork lengths and total weights were measured and heads tails or viscera removed Approximately 300g of the remaining tisshysue was chopped into 3-5 on chunks for wet weighing and then dried for 2 days at 1l0degC to obtain a dry weight Pieces of dried fish were sequentially added to boiling 16M HN03 in a large beaker Trout pi ke i nconnu and burbot samples contai ned more fat and required considerable care and attenshytion to avoid excessive foaming HN03 was replenshyi shed unt il the ent i re sample was di gested and in solution When brown nitrous oxide fumes ceased the sample was allowed to evaporate to dryness The residue in the beaker was ashed in a muffle furnace at 450degC overni ght and then 16M HN03 was added to the sample for another digestion and evashyporation to dryness This latter procedure was reshypeated unt il a white ash of mi nimal vol ume was obshytained The ash was transferred to plastiC petri dishes weighed and then counted with dual 180deg optlOsed NaI detectors to determine the activity of 137Cs A count rate for 40K was obtained at the same time and was recorded for each sample Counting efficiencies for 137Cs and 40K were 195 and 8 respectively Twelve fish samples were spiked with known activities of 134Cs before dryshying and processing and a total yield of 85-95 was obtained for the method

The ash was then dissolved in water or dil ute HC1 and activity of 226Ra was determined by a charcoal extraction modification (G Mathieu L amont-D oherty Geolog ica1 Ob servatory persona1 cOf11l1unication) of the 222Rn emanation method of Broecker (1965) A more detailed TlIthodology is given in the section entitled Water Samples

In addition to the above analyses three lake trout from Lake 223 were dissected into muscle

Jone skin and viscera to determine if 13 Cs was concentrated in a particular fraction of the fish Because of small sample sizes trout with higher activities of 137Cs in muscle tissue were chosen Viscera and skin were removed and the remaining flesh microwaved so bones could be separated from the muscle Each portion was acid digested repeatshyedly as described earl ier and counted for 137Cs on a Geli gamma detector A NaI detector was not used because of interference fran other isotopes in the samples which were present due to an experimental radionuclide spike in lake 223

After 222Rn stripping the dissolved samples were analysed for stable elements All samples and blanks were brought up to a 200 ml volume Ca Zn and Cu were ana lysed by atomi c absorpt i on spectroshymetry An aliquot of the sample was diluted with an addition of 1 anthanum to suppress interference in the Ca analysis Zn and Cu measurements were done with simultaneous background correction Cu was extracted as the diethyl dithiocarbamate comshyplex into n-butyl acetate K was determined by atomic emission spectrometry and Ca was added to the standards at a level equivalent to that of the samples Repl icate analyses were done for Ca and K and standard deviations of 6 and 25 were obshytained

WATER SAMPLES

Surface water sampl es were al so taken from the three stations in Great Slave lake in September 1979 from lake 302S in March 1980 and from the North Basin of lake Winnipeg near long Point in June 1980 Three acid-washed 55 l plastic barrels were rinsed with lake water filled with surface water at each station and shipped to the Freshshywater Institute Samples were centrifuged (continshyuous flow 50 mlmin at 16500 rpm) to separate the particul ate from the dissolved phase The water was then acidified to ph 1 with reagent HC1 and flushed with He The barrels were sealed and the water allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks to allow growth of 222Rn from 226Ra 222Rn was then stripshyped from the 55 l by He bubbl ing trapped on a charcoal col umn cool ed in 1 i quid N2 and transfershyred to a counting cell Alpha disintegrations were counted on a specially designed scintillation counshyter Water samples spiked with known amounts of 226Ra were used to cal ibrate the method Barrel extract i on system and counting cell bl anks were ~~~~inelY done The barrel blank value was 91 pCi

The centrifuged water samples were then spikshyed with 134Cs and stable Cs Total Cs was collectshyed by cation exchange with AMP (ammonium molydoshyphos phate B i o-Rad AMP -1) powder added directly to the 160 l sample Samples were allowed to stand overnight after which the cl ear supernatant was siphoned off and the AMP crystals concentrated inshyto a small volume for drying and packing into plasshytic pet ri dishes The AMP powder samples were counted on aGel i gamma detector for approximately one day Yield for 134Cs tracer was 80-90 Counting efficiencies were determined from known activities of 134Cs added to AMP of the same volume and geometry as the samples The suspended particushy1ate matter collected from centrifuging was pl aced in plastic petri dishes and counted for 137Cs with a Geli detector

STATI STiCS

Means and standard deviations of total weights fork lengths and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra and concentrations of stable elements were calculated for each population (one species from a single location) on both the raw data and logshytransfonned val ues Both distribut ions were checkshyed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilks test (Shapiro and Wilk 1965) recoomended for sample sizes of less than 50 In populations where the fish had been sexed an F-test for homogeneity of variance and a t-test for equal ity of means were used to detennine if significant differences ( ct = 005) ex i sted between I11d 1es and females in si ze or activities of 137Cs and 226Ra

RESULTS

Activities of 137Cs 40K and 226Ra for each fish sample analyzed are given in Table 1 Where avail able fork lengths and total weights are al so shown along with the sample weights at different stages of preparation No significant differences were found in mean tota1 wei ght s fork 1engths or activities of 137Cs between males and females in any population Therefore sex of the fish was igshynored for the popul at ion means given in the summary Table 2

With few exceptions the variations in fork lengths 137Cs and 226Ra within each population were equally well explained by either the normal or log-nonnal distribution Total weights were genershyally log-normal Neither distribution described the variance in 137Cs or 226Ra in populations where a high proportion of the fish had activities near our lower limits of detection (cisco from Fort Resol ut i on trout from Snowdrift) The stat j st ics given in Table 2 are for log-transfonned data so that means which vary by orders of magnitude can be compared with relatively homogeneous variances

Frequency distributions for 137Cs and 226Ra in each fish population are shown in Figs 1 and 2 The total range in mean 137Cs activityweight for all populations was three orders of maw1tude Within a single species the activity of 137Cs was unique to the station sampled For example Fig 1 shows that there is practically no overlap in the distributions for whitefish from louis lake ElA Snowdrift and Fort Resolution There was a smaller range of 226Ra activities in these populations and in contrast to 137Cs appears to be controlled more by species than location (Fig 2)

It was considered that variations in mean 137Cs activity between speCies might be due to difshyfering proportions of skin bone and muscle in the samples Table 3 shows the results of dissecting three trout from lake 223 and analyzing these porshytions separately Muscle was the greatest contrishybutor to overall 137Cs activity (65-80) primarily due to its large contribution to total wet weight As a result the total sample activity (combined in Table 3) was almost identical to muscle alone

Stab1 e el ement chemi stry was determi ned for some fish samples from each location Concentrashytions of Ca K Cu and Zn are given in Table 4 and

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

Footnotes

The length measurement for these fish is dorsal fin to fork of tail

t The Louis Lake fish were received whole and partly decayed Heads were removed but gut contents were included in the sample counted

t A minus (_) sign is a denotation that this datum is a sum of two separately analyzed portions of the fish sample

t Not detectable above background 22 6Ra

Table 2 Means and one standard deviation errors for activities of 137Cs and 22 6Ra and for total wet weight and fork length of fish populations from Great Slave Lake Louis Lakeuro Lake Winnipeg and ELA All statistics were done on log-transformed data The number in brackets is the sample size (n) The sample size given for 137Cs also applies to total weight and fork length

INTRODUCTION

Numerous investigations of 137Cs bioaccumulashytion in fish began in the mid 1960s after major test i ng of thermonucl ear bombs and monitori ng of the resultant atmospheric fallout of radionucshylides Concentration factors (pCig in fish pCig in water) of from 55 (Porcella and Friend 1966) to 23000 (Kolehmainen et al 1966 1968) have been reported for a wide variety of fish species There is still concern about the mechanism of 137Cs acshycumulation in freshwater biota since the isotope is released in the liquid waste from nuclear power station reactors J inks and Wrenn (1976) modelled radiocesium uptake in fish by examining accumulashytion both directly from water through gills or inshygestion and indirectly from contaminated food Kolehmainen et al (1968) postulated four major factors governing levels of 137Cs in fish (1) 137Cs activity in the water (2) K concentration in the water (3) 137Cs activity of food sources and (4) the biological half-time of 137Cs in fish

226Ra is a naturally occurring radionucl ide which is an important contributor to the total radshyiation dose of man As well waste waters from urshyanium mines and mills often discharged into surshyrounding surface waters may contain high activishyties of 226Ra Havl ik (1970) reported an increase in 226Ra at Elliott Lake in an area of uranium ore exploration and mining from lt1 pCiL to 10-222 pCiL

The purpose of this study was to obtain backshyground data on the accumulation of 137Cs and 226Ra in several fish species Lakes chosen for sampling received onl globally distributed atmospheric fallout of 13 Cs and natural inputs of 226Ra They also represented different limnological features The west basin and McLeod and Christie Bays of Great Slave Lake (61-63degN 110-118degW) in the Northshywest Territories were sampled separately as were the north and south basins of Lake Winnipeg (51shy54degN 96-98degW) Basic limnological information on Great Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg can be found in Rawson (1950) and in Brunskill et al (1980) resshypectively Fish were also obtained from two Preshycambrian Shield Lakes in the Experimental Lakes Area northwestern Ontario (Brunskill et al 1971 and other papers in this vol ume) and fran Loui s Lake on the Saskatchewan-NWI border (61deg07N 104deg49W) The limnology of Louis Lake has not been studied Although it was not possible to obshytain the same species at all stations in total nine species were analyzed lake whitefish (Coreshy901~S clupeaformis) round whitefish ProsClTUm c ndraceum) ci sco (Core onus artedi ake trout Sa velinus namaycus sauger (Stizostedion canadense) burbot (Lota lota) longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomuiJ northern pi ke (E sox 1 ucshy~) and inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys) -- -shy

METHODS

FISH SAMPLES

Lake and round whitefish trout cisco longshynose sucker burbot pi ke and i nconnu from Great Slave Lake NWT were gillnetted during April and September 1978 at three stat ions near Snowdrift in Christie Bay off Fort Resolution in the West

Basin and near Fort Rel iance in McLeod Bay Total weight fork length and sex were detennined in the field The fish were then commercially dressed (head and viscera removed) frozen and shipped by air to the Freshwater Institute

Sauger were taken in a trapnet off Elk Island in the South Basin of Lake Winnipeg in June 1979 and lake whitefish in February from commercial gillnetting operations north of Long Point in the North Basin Whole fish were shipped to Winnipeg where they were coomercially dressed before analyshysis Fork lengths and total weights for saugers were taken on site lake whitefish were measured after defrosting in our laboratory

Lake whitefish and trout from Lakes 302S 226SW and 223 in the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) northwestern Ontario were gillnetted in the fall of 1979 Lake 302S fish had heads and viscera reshymoved in the field while the others were shipped whole to Winnipeg

In October 1978 after an unexplained fish kill in Louis Lake near the Saskatchewan-NWT boundary dead fish were collected fran along the lake shore frozen and shipped whole to the Instishytute for investigation We incl uded these fish in our survey although they were not sampled in the same manner and could not be gutted due to their partially decayed state

Fish samples were stored at -40degC and batches of samples were defrosted in a microwave oven as required If necessary fork lengths and total weights were measured and heads tails or viscera removed Approximately 300g of the remaining tisshysue was chopped into 3-5 on chunks for wet weighing and then dried for 2 days at 1l0degC to obtain a dry weight Pieces of dried fish were sequentially added to boiling 16M HN03 in a large beaker Trout pi ke i nconnu and burbot samples contai ned more fat and required considerable care and attenshytion to avoid excessive foaming HN03 was replenshyi shed unt il the ent i re sample was di gested and in solution When brown nitrous oxide fumes ceased the sample was allowed to evaporate to dryness The residue in the beaker was ashed in a muffle furnace at 450degC overni ght and then 16M HN03 was added to the sample for another digestion and evashyporation to dryness This latter procedure was reshypeated unt il a white ash of mi nimal vol ume was obshytained The ash was transferred to plastiC petri dishes weighed and then counted with dual 180deg optlOsed NaI detectors to determine the activity of 137Cs A count rate for 40K was obtained at the same time and was recorded for each sample Counting efficiencies for 137Cs and 40K were 195 and 8 respectively Twelve fish samples were spiked with known activities of 134Cs before dryshying and processing and a total yield of 85-95 was obtained for the method

The ash was then dissolved in water or dil ute HC1 and activity of 226Ra was determined by a charcoal extraction modification (G Mathieu L amont-D oherty Geolog ica1 Ob servatory persona1 cOf11l1unication) of the 222Rn emanation method of Broecker (1965) A more detailed TlIthodology is given in the section entitled Water Samples

In addition to the above analyses three lake trout from Lake 223 were dissected into muscle

Jone skin and viscera to determine if 13 Cs was concentrated in a particular fraction of the fish Because of small sample sizes trout with higher activities of 137Cs in muscle tissue were chosen Viscera and skin were removed and the remaining flesh microwaved so bones could be separated from the muscle Each portion was acid digested repeatshyedly as described earl ier and counted for 137Cs on a Geli gamma detector A NaI detector was not used because of interference fran other isotopes in the samples which were present due to an experimental radionuclide spike in lake 223

After 222Rn stripping the dissolved samples were analysed for stable elements All samples and blanks were brought up to a 200 ml volume Ca Zn and Cu were ana lysed by atomi c absorpt i on spectroshymetry An aliquot of the sample was diluted with an addition of 1 anthanum to suppress interference in the Ca analysis Zn and Cu measurements were done with simultaneous background correction Cu was extracted as the diethyl dithiocarbamate comshyplex into n-butyl acetate K was determined by atomic emission spectrometry and Ca was added to the standards at a level equivalent to that of the samples Repl icate analyses were done for Ca and K and standard deviations of 6 and 25 were obshytained

WATER SAMPLES

Surface water sampl es were al so taken from the three stations in Great Slave lake in September 1979 from lake 302S in March 1980 and from the North Basin of lake Winnipeg near long Point in June 1980 Three acid-washed 55 l plastic barrels were rinsed with lake water filled with surface water at each station and shipped to the Freshshywater Institute Samples were centrifuged (continshyuous flow 50 mlmin at 16500 rpm) to separate the particul ate from the dissolved phase The water was then acidified to ph 1 with reagent HC1 and flushed with He The barrels were sealed and the water allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks to allow growth of 222Rn from 226Ra 222Rn was then stripshyped from the 55 l by He bubbl ing trapped on a charcoal col umn cool ed in 1 i quid N2 and transfershyred to a counting cell Alpha disintegrations were counted on a specially designed scintillation counshyter Water samples spiked with known amounts of 226Ra were used to cal ibrate the method Barrel extract i on system and counting cell bl anks were ~~~~inelY done The barrel blank value was 91 pCi

The centrifuged water samples were then spikshyed with 134Cs and stable Cs Total Cs was collectshyed by cation exchange with AMP (ammonium molydoshyphos phate B i o-Rad AMP -1) powder added directly to the 160 l sample Samples were allowed to stand overnight after which the cl ear supernatant was siphoned off and the AMP crystals concentrated inshyto a small volume for drying and packing into plasshytic pet ri dishes The AMP powder samples were counted on aGel i gamma detector for approximately one day Yield for 134Cs tracer was 80-90 Counting efficiencies were determined from known activities of 134Cs added to AMP of the same volume and geometry as the samples The suspended particushy1ate matter collected from centrifuging was pl aced in plastic petri dishes and counted for 137Cs with a Geli detector

STATI STiCS

Means and standard deviations of total weights fork lengths and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra and concentrations of stable elements were calculated for each population (one species from a single location) on both the raw data and logshytransfonned val ues Both distribut ions were checkshyed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilks test (Shapiro and Wilk 1965) recoomended for sample sizes of less than 50 In populations where the fish had been sexed an F-test for homogeneity of variance and a t-test for equal ity of means were used to detennine if significant differences ( ct = 005) ex i sted between I11d 1es and females in si ze or activities of 137Cs and 226Ra

RESULTS

Activities of 137Cs 40K and 226Ra for each fish sample analyzed are given in Table 1 Where avail able fork lengths and total weights are al so shown along with the sample weights at different stages of preparation No significant differences were found in mean tota1 wei ght s fork 1engths or activities of 137Cs between males and females in any population Therefore sex of the fish was igshynored for the popul at ion means given in the summary Table 2

With few exceptions the variations in fork lengths 137Cs and 226Ra within each population were equally well explained by either the normal or log-nonnal distribution Total weights were genershyally log-normal Neither distribution described the variance in 137Cs or 226Ra in populations where a high proportion of the fish had activities near our lower limits of detection (cisco from Fort Resol ut i on trout from Snowdrift) The stat j st ics given in Table 2 are for log-transfonned data so that means which vary by orders of magnitude can be compared with relatively homogeneous variances

Frequency distributions for 137Cs and 226Ra in each fish population are shown in Figs 1 and 2 The total range in mean 137Cs activityweight for all populations was three orders of maw1tude Within a single species the activity of 137Cs was unique to the station sampled For example Fig 1 shows that there is practically no overlap in the distributions for whitefish from louis lake ElA Snowdrift and Fort Resolution There was a smaller range of 226Ra activities in these populations and in contrast to 137Cs appears to be controlled more by species than location (Fig 2)

It was considered that variations in mean 137Cs activity between speCies might be due to difshyfering proportions of skin bone and muscle in the samples Table 3 shows the results of dissecting three trout from lake 223 and analyzing these porshytions separately Muscle was the greatest contrishybutor to overall 137Cs activity (65-80) primarily due to its large contribution to total wet weight As a result the total sample activity (combined in Table 3) was almost identical to muscle alone

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

ABSTRACT

Elliott S E M C Burns-Flett R H Hesslein G J Brunskill and A Lutz 1981 Cesium-137 radium-226 potassium-40 and selected stable elements in fish populations from Great Slave Lake (NWT) Louis Lake (Saskatchewan) Lake Winnipeg (Manitoba) and Experimental Lakes Area (Northwestern Ontario) Can Data Rep Fish Aquat Sci 293 i v + 20 p

Activities of 137Cs resulting fran globally distributed atmospheric fallout and natural activities of 226Ra and 40K were determined for nine species of fish frOO1 five lakes in the Northwest Territories Manitoba Saskatchewan and northwestern Ontario Sampl e si zes of approximately 25 fish were obtained for each species and location Selected subsamples were also analyzed for the stable elements Ca Zn Cu and K Surface water samshyples were collected and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra were determined in both dissolved and particulate fractions

Analytical methods are given and chemical results total weight and fork 1ength are tabul ated for each fi she Popul at ion means and frequency distributions of 137Cs and 226Ra indicate activities which are specific to location and species respectively

Numerous investigations of 137Cs bioaccumulashytion in fish began in the mid 1960s after major test i ng of thermonucl ear bombs and monitori ng of the resultant atmospheric fallout of radionucshylides Concentration factors (pCig in fish pCig in water) of from 55 (Porcella and Friend 1966) to 23000 (Kolehmainen et al 1966 1968) have been reported for a wide variety of fish species There is still concern about the mechanism of 137Cs acshycumulation in freshwater biota since the isotope is released in the liquid waste from nuclear power station reactors J inks and Wrenn (1976) modelled radiocesium uptake in fish by examining accumulashytion both directly from water through gills or inshygestion and indirectly from contaminated food Kolehmainen et al (1968) postulated four major factors governing levels of 137Cs in fish (1) 137Cs activity in the water (2) K concentration in the water (3) 137Cs activity of food sources and (4) the biological half-time of 137Cs in fish

226Ra is a naturally occurring radionucl ide which is an important contributor to the total radshyiation dose of man As well waste waters from urshyanium mines and mills often discharged into surshyrounding surface waters may contain high activishyties of 226Ra Havl ik (1970) reported an increase in 226Ra at Elliott Lake in an area of uranium ore exploration and mining from lt1 pCiL to 10-222 pCiL

The purpose of this study was to obtain backshyground data on the accumulation of 137Cs and 226Ra in several fish species Lakes chosen for sampling received onl globally distributed atmospheric fallout of 13 Cs and natural inputs of 226Ra They also represented different limnological features The west basin and McLeod and Christie Bays of Great Slave Lake (61-63degN 110-118degW) in the Northshywest Territories were sampled separately as were the north and south basins of Lake Winnipeg (51shy54degN 96-98degW) Basic limnological information on Great Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg can be found in Rawson (1950) and in Brunskill et al (1980) resshypectively Fish were also obtained from two Preshycambrian Shield Lakes in the Experimental Lakes Area northwestern Ontario (Brunskill et al 1971 and other papers in this vol ume) and fran Loui s Lake on the Saskatchewan-NWI border (61deg07N 104deg49W) The limnology of Louis Lake has not been studied Although it was not possible to obshytain the same species at all stations in total nine species were analyzed lake whitefish (Coreshy901~S clupeaformis) round whitefish ProsClTUm c ndraceum) ci sco (Core onus artedi ake trout Sa velinus namaycus sauger (Stizostedion canadense) burbot (Lota lota) longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomuiJ northern pi ke (E sox 1 ucshy~) and inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys) -- -shy

METHODS

FISH SAMPLES

Lake and round whitefish trout cisco longshynose sucker burbot pi ke and i nconnu from Great Slave Lake NWT were gillnetted during April and September 1978 at three stat ions near Snowdrift in Christie Bay off Fort Resolution in the West

Basin and near Fort Rel iance in McLeod Bay Total weight fork length and sex were detennined in the field The fish were then commercially dressed (head and viscera removed) frozen and shipped by air to the Freshwater Institute

Sauger were taken in a trapnet off Elk Island in the South Basin of Lake Winnipeg in June 1979 and lake whitefish in February from commercial gillnetting operations north of Long Point in the North Basin Whole fish were shipped to Winnipeg where they were coomercially dressed before analyshysis Fork lengths and total weights for saugers were taken on site lake whitefish were measured after defrosting in our laboratory

Lake whitefish and trout from Lakes 302S 226SW and 223 in the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) northwestern Ontario were gillnetted in the fall of 1979 Lake 302S fish had heads and viscera reshymoved in the field while the others were shipped whole to Winnipeg

In October 1978 after an unexplained fish kill in Louis Lake near the Saskatchewan-NWT boundary dead fish were collected fran along the lake shore frozen and shipped whole to the Instishytute for investigation We incl uded these fish in our survey although they were not sampled in the same manner and could not be gutted due to their partially decayed state

Fish samples were stored at -40degC and batches of samples were defrosted in a microwave oven as required If necessary fork lengths and total weights were measured and heads tails or viscera removed Approximately 300g of the remaining tisshysue was chopped into 3-5 on chunks for wet weighing and then dried for 2 days at 1l0degC to obtain a dry weight Pieces of dried fish were sequentially added to boiling 16M HN03 in a large beaker Trout pi ke i nconnu and burbot samples contai ned more fat and required considerable care and attenshytion to avoid excessive foaming HN03 was replenshyi shed unt il the ent i re sample was di gested and in solution When brown nitrous oxide fumes ceased the sample was allowed to evaporate to dryness The residue in the beaker was ashed in a muffle furnace at 450degC overni ght and then 16M HN03 was added to the sample for another digestion and evashyporation to dryness This latter procedure was reshypeated unt il a white ash of mi nimal vol ume was obshytained The ash was transferred to plastiC petri dishes weighed and then counted with dual 180deg optlOsed NaI detectors to determine the activity of 137Cs A count rate for 40K was obtained at the same time and was recorded for each sample Counting efficiencies for 137Cs and 40K were 195 and 8 respectively Twelve fish samples were spiked with known activities of 134Cs before dryshying and processing and a total yield of 85-95 was obtained for the method

The ash was then dissolved in water or dil ute HC1 and activity of 226Ra was determined by a charcoal extraction modification (G Mathieu L amont-D oherty Geolog ica1 Ob servatory persona1 cOf11l1unication) of the 222Rn emanation method of Broecker (1965) A more detailed TlIthodology is given in the section entitled Water Samples

In addition to the above analyses three lake trout from Lake 223 were dissected into muscle

Jone skin and viscera to determine if 13 Cs was concentrated in a particular fraction of the fish Because of small sample sizes trout with higher activities of 137Cs in muscle tissue were chosen Viscera and skin were removed and the remaining flesh microwaved so bones could be separated from the muscle Each portion was acid digested repeatshyedly as described earl ier and counted for 137Cs on a Geli gamma detector A NaI detector was not used because of interference fran other isotopes in the samples which were present due to an experimental radionuclide spike in lake 223

After 222Rn stripping the dissolved samples were analysed for stable elements All samples and blanks were brought up to a 200 ml volume Ca Zn and Cu were ana lysed by atomi c absorpt i on spectroshymetry An aliquot of the sample was diluted with an addition of 1 anthanum to suppress interference in the Ca analysis Zn and Cu measurements were done with simultaneous background correction Cu was extracted as the diethyl dithiocarbamate comshyplex into n-butyl acetate K was determined by atomic emission spectrometry and Ca was added to the standards at a level equivalent to that of the samples Repl icate analyses were done for Ca and K and standard deviations of 6 and 25 were obshytained

WATER SAMPLES

Surface water sampl es were al so taken from the three stations in Great Slave lake in September 1979 from lake 302S in March 1980 and from the North Basin of lake Winnipeg near long Point in June 1980 Three acid-washed 55 l plastic barrels were rinsed with lake water filled with surface water at each station and shipped to the Freshshywater Institute Samples were centrifuged (continshyuous flow 50 mlmin at 16500 rpm) to separate the particul ate from the dissolved phase The water was then acidified to ph 1 with reagent HC1 and flushed with He The barrels were sealed and the water allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks to allow growth of 222Rn from 226Ra 222Rn was then stripshyped from the 55 l by He bubbl ing trapped on a charcoal col umn cool ed in 1 i quid N2 and transfershyred to a counting cell Alpha disintegrations were counted on a specially designed scintillation counshyter Water samples spiked with known amounts of 226Ra were used to cal ibrate the method Barrel extract i on system and counting cell bl anks were ~~~~inelY done The barrel blank value was 91 pCi

The centrifuged water samples were then spikshyed with 134Cs and stable Cs Total Cs was collectshyed by cation exchange with AMP (ammonium molydoshyphos phate B i o-Rad AMP -1) powder added directly to the 160 l sample Samples were allowed to stand overnight after which the cl ear supernatant was siphoned off and the AMP crystals concentrated inshyto a small volume for drying and packing into plasshytic pet ri dishes The AMP powder samples were counted on aGel i gamma detector for approximately one day Yield for 134Cs tracer was 80-90 Counting efficiencies were determined from known activities of 134Cs added to AMP of the same volume and geometry as the samples The suspended particushy1ate matter collected from centrifuging was pl aced in plastic petri dishes and counted for 137Cs with a Geli detector

STATI STiCS

Means and standard deviations of total weights fork lengths and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra and concentrations of stable elements were calculated for each population (one species from a single location) on both the raw data and logshytransfonned val ues Both distribut ions were checkshyed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilks test (Shapiro and Wilk 1965) recoomended for sample sizes of less than 50 In populations where the fish had been sexed an F-test for homogeneity of variance and a t-test for equal ity of means were used to detennine if significant differences ( ct = 005) ex i sted between I11d 1es and females in si ze or activities of 137Cs and 226Ra

RESULTS

Activities of 137Cs 40K and 226Ra for each fish sample analyzed are given in Table 1 Where avail able fork lengths and total weights are al so shown along with the sample weights at different stages of preparation No significant differences were found in mean tota1 wei ght s fork 1engths or activities of 137Cs between males and females in any population Therefore sex of the fish was igshynored for the popul at ion means given in the summary Table 2

With few exceptions the variations in fork lengths 137Cs and 226Ra within each population were equally well explained by either the normal or log-nonnal distribution Total weights were genershyally log-normal Neither distribution described the variance in 137Cs or 226Ra in populations where a high proportion of the fish had activities near our lower limits of detection (cisco from Fort Resol ut i on trout from Snowdrift) The stat j st ics given in Table 2 are for log-transfonned data so that means which vary by orders of magnitude can be compared with relatively homogeneous variances

Frequency distributions for 137Cs and 226Ra in each fish population are shown in Figs 1 and 2 The total range in mean 137Cs activityweight for all populations was three orders of maw1tude Within a single species the activity of 137Cs was unique to the station sampled For example Fig 1 shows that there is practically no overlap in the distributions for whitefish from louis lake ElA Snowdrift and Fort Resolution There was a smaller range of 226Ra activities in these populations and in contrast to 137Cs appears to be controlled more by species than location (Fig 2)

It was considered that variations in mean 137Cs activity between speCies might be due to difshyfering proportions of skin bone and muscle in the samples Table 3 shows the results of dissecting three trout from lake 223 and analyzing these porshytions separately Muscle was the greatest contrishybutor to overall 137Cs activity (65-80) primarily due to its large contribution to total wet weight As a result the total sample activity (combined in Table 3) was almost identical to muscle alone

Stab1 e el ement chemi stry was determi ned for some fish samples from each location Concentrashytions of Ca K Cu and Zn are given in Table 4 and

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

INTRODUCTION

Numerous investigations of 137Cs bioaccumulashytion in fish began in the mid 1960s after major test i ng of thermonucl ear bombs and monitori ng of the resultant atmospheric fallout of radionucshylides Concentration factors (pCig in fish pCig in water) of from 55 (Porcella and Friend 1966) to 23000 (Kolehmainen et al 1966 1968) have been reported for a wide variety of fish species There is still concern about the mechanism of 137Cs acshycumulation in freshwater biota since the isotope is released in the liquid waste from nuclear power station reactors J inks and Wrenn (1976) modelled radiocesium uptake in fish by examining accumulashytion both directly from water through gills or inshygestion and indirectly from contaminated food Kolehmainen et al (1968) postulated four major factors governing levels of 137Cs in fish (1) 137Cs activity in the water (2) K concentration in the water (3) 137Cs activity of food sources and (4) the biological half-time of 137Cs in fish

226Ra is a naturally occurring radionucl ide which is an important contributor to the total radshyiation dose of man As well waste waters from urshyanium mines and mills often discharged into surshyrounding surface waters may contain high activishyties of 226Ra Havl ik (1970) reported an increase in 226Ra at Elliott Lake in an area of uranium ore exploration and mining from lt1 pCiL to 10-222 pCiL

The purpose of this study was to obtain backshyground data on the accumulation of 137Cs and 226Ra in several fish species Lakes chosen for sampling received onl globally distributed atmospheric fallout of 13 Cs and natural inputs of 226Ra They also represented different limnological features The west basin and McLeod and Christie Bays of Great Slave Lake (61-63degN 110-118degW) in the Northshywest Territories were sampled separately as were the north and south basins of Lake Winnipeg (51shy54degN 96-98degW) Basic limnological information on Great Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg can be found in Rawson (1950) and in Brunskill et al (1980) resshypectively Fish were also obtained from two Preshycambrian Shield Lakes in the Experimental Lakes Area northwestern Ontario (Brunskill et al 1971 and other papers in this vol ume) and fran Loui s Lake on the Saskatchewan-NWI border (61deg07N 104deg49W) The limnology of Louis Lake has not been studied Although it was not possible to obshytain the same species at all stations in total nine species were analyzed lake whitefish (Coreshy901~S clupeaformis) round whitefish ProsClTUm c ndraceum) ci sco (Core onus artedi ake trout Sa velinus namaycus sauger (Stizostedion canadense) burbot (Lota lota) longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomuiJ northern pi ke (E sox 1 ucshy~) and inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys) -- -shy

METHODS

FISH SAMPLES

Lake and round whitefish trout cisco longshynose sucker burbot pi ke and i nconnu from Great Slave Lake NWT were gillnetted during April and September 1978 at three stat ions near Snowdrift in Christie Bay off Fort Resolution in the West

Basin and near Fort Rel iance in McLeod Bay Total weight fork length and sex were detennined in the field The fish were then commercially dressed (head and viscera removed) frozen and shipped by air to the Freshwater Institute

Sauger were taken in a trapnet off Elk Island in the South Basin of Lake Winnipeg in June 1979 and lake whitefish in February from commercial gillnetting operations north of Long Point in the North Basin Whole fish were shipped to Winnipeg where they were coomercially dressed before analyshysis Fork lengths and total weights for saugers were taken on site lake whitefish were measured after defrosting in our laboratory

Lake whitefish and trout from Lakes 302S 226SW and 223 in the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) northwestern Ontario were gillnetted in the fall of 1979 Lake 302S fish had heads and viscera reshymoved in the field while the others were shipped whole to Winnipeg

In October 1978 after an unexplained fish kill in Louis Lake near the Saskatchewan-NWT boundary dead fish were collected fran along the lake shore frozen and shipped whole to the Instishytute for investigation We incl uded these fish in our survey although they were not sampled in the same manner and could not be gutted due to their partially decayed state

Fish samples were stored at -40degC and batches of samples were defrosted in a microwave oven as required If necessary fork lengths and total weights were measured and heads tails or viscera removed Approximately 300g of the remaining tisshysue was chopped into 3-5 on chunks for wet weighing and then dried for 2 days at 1l0degC to obtain a dry weight Pieces of dried fish were sequentially added to boiling 16M HN03 in a large beaker Trout pi ke i nconnu and burbot samples contai ned more fat and required considerable care and attenshytion to avoid excessive foaming HN03 was replenshyi shed unt il the ent i re sample was di gested and in solution When brown nitrous oxide fumes ceased the sample was allowed to evaporate to dryness The residue in the beaker was ashed in a muffle furnace at 450degC overni ght and then 16M HN03 was added to the sample for another digestion and evashyporation to dryness This latter procedure was reshypeated unt il a white ash of mi nimal vol ume was obshytained The ash was transferred to plastiC petri dishes weighed and then counted with dual 180deg optlOsed NaI detectors to determine the activity of 137Cs A count rate for 40K was obtained at the same time and was recorded for each sample Counting efficiencies for 137Cs and 40K were 195 and 8 respectively Twelve fish samples were spiked with known activities of 134Cs before dryshying and processing and a total yield of 85-95 was obtained for the method

The ash was then dissolved in water or dil ute HC1 and activity of 226Ra was determined by a charcoal extraction modification (G Mathieu L amont-D oherty Geolog ica1 Ob servatory persona1 cOf11l1unication) of the 222Rn emanation method of Broecker (1965) A more detailed TlIthodology is given in the section entitled Water Samples

In addition to the above analyses three lake trout from Lake 223 were dissected into muscle

Jone skin and viscera to determine if 13 Cs was concentrated in a particular fraction of the fish Because of small sample sizes trout with higher activities of 137Cs in muscle tissue were chosen Viscera and skin were removed and the remaining flesh microwaved so bones could be separated from the muscle Each portion was acid digested repeatshyedly as described earl ier and counted for 137Cs on a Geli gamma detector A NaI detector was not used because of interference fran other isotopes in the samples which were present due to an experimental radionuclide spike in lake 223

After 222Rn stripping the dissolved samples were analysed for stable elements All samples and blanks were brought up to a 200 ml volume Ca Zn and Cu were ana lysed by atomi c absorpt i on spectroshymetry An aliquot of the sample was diluted with an addition of 1 anthanum to suppress interference in the Ca analysis Zn and Cu measurements were done with simultaneous background correction Cu was extracted as the diethyl dithiocarbamate comshyplex into n-butyl acetate K was determined by atomic emission spectrometry and Ca was added to the standards at a level equivalent to that of the samples Repl icate analyses were done for Ca and K and standard deviations of 6 and 25 were obshytained

WATER SAMPLES

Surface water sampl es were al so taken from the three stations in Great Slave lake in September 1979 from lake 302S in March 1980 and from the North Basin of lake Winnipeg near long Point in June 1980 Three acid-washed 55 l plastic barrels were rinsed with lake water filled with surface water at each station and shipped to the Freshshywater Institute Samples were centrifuged (continshyuous flow 50 mlmin at 16500 rpm) to separate the particul ate from the dissolved phase The water was then acidified to ph 1 with reagent HC1 and flushed with He The barrels were sealed and the water allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks to allow growth of 222Rn from 226Ra 222Rn was then stripshyped from the 55 l by He bubbl ing trapped on a charcoal col umn cool ed in 1 i quid N2 and transfershyred to a counting cell Alpha disintegrations were counted on a specially designed scintillation counshyter Water samples spiked with known amounts of 226Ra were used to cal ibrate the method Barrel extract i on system and counting cell bl anks were ~~~~inelY done The barrel blank value was 91 pCi

The centrifuged water samples were then spikshyed with 134Cs and stable Cs Total Cs was collectshyed by cation exchange with AMP (ammonium molydoshyphos phate B i o-Rad AMP -1) powder added directly to the 160 l sample Samples were allowed to stand overnight after which the cl ear supernatant was siphoned off and the AMP crystals concentrated inshyto a small volume for drying and packing into plasshytic pet ri dishes The AMP powder samples were counted on aGel i gamma detector for approximately one day Yield for 134Cs tracer was 80-90 Counting efficiencies were determined from known activities of 134Cs added to AMP of the same volume and geometry as the samples The suspended particushy1ate matter collected from centrifuging was pl aced in plastic petri dishes and counted for 137Cs with a Geli detector

STATI STiCS

Means and standard deviations of total weights fork lengths and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra and concentrations of stable elements were calculated for each population (one species from a single location) on both the raw data and logshytransfonned val ues Both distribut ions were checkshyed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilks test (Shapiro and Wilk 1965) recoomended for sample sizes of less than 50 In populations where the fish had been sexed an F-test for homogeneity of variance and a t-test for equal ity of means were used to detennine if significant differences ( ct = 005) ex i sted between I11d 1es and females in si ze or activities of 137Cs and 226Ra

RESULTS

Activities of 137Cs 40K and 226Ra for each fish sample analyzed are given in Table 1 Where avail able fork lengths and total weights are al so shown along with the sample weights at different stages of preparation No significant differences were found in mean tota1 wei ght s fork 1engths or activities of 137Cs between males and females in any population Therefore sex of the fish was igshynored for the popul at ion means given in the summary Table 2

With few exceptions the variations in fork lengths 137Cs and 226Ra within each population were equally well explained by either the normal or log-nonnal distribution Total weights were genershyally log-normal Neither distribution described the variance in 137Cs or 226Ra in populations where a high proportion of the fish had activities near our lower limits of detection (cisco from Fort Resol ut i on trout from Snowdrift) The stat j st ics given in Table 2 are for log-transfonned data so that means which vary by orders of magnitude can be compared with relatively homogeneous variances

Frequency distributions for 137Cs and 226Ra in each fish population are shown in Figs 1 and 2 The total range in mean 137Cs activityweight for all populations was three orders of maw1tude Within a single species the activity of 137Cs was unique to the station sampled For example Fig 1 shows that there is practically no overlap in the distributions for whitefish from louis lake ElA Snowdrift and Fort Resolution There was a smaller range of 226Ra activities in these populations and in contrast to 137Cs appears to be controlled more by species than location (Fig 2)

It was considered that variations in mean 137Cs activity between speCies might be due to difshyfering proportions of skin bone and muscle in the samples Table 3 shows the results of dissecting three trout from lake 223 and analyzing these porshytions separately Muscle was the greatest contrishybutor to overall 137Cs activity (65-80) primarily due to its large contribution to total wet weight As a result the total sample activity (combined in Table 3) was almost identical to muscle alone

Stab1 e el ement chemi stry was determi ned for some fish samples from each location Concentrashytions of Ca K Cu and Zn are given in Table 4 and

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

INTRODUCTION

Numerous investigations of 137Cs bioaccumulashytion in fish began in the mid 1960s after major test i ng of thermonucl ear bombs and monitori ng of the resultant atmospheric fallout of radionucshylides Concentration factors (pCig in fish pCig in water) of from 55 (Porcella and Friend 1966) to 23000 (Kolehmainen et al 1966 1968) have been reported for a wide variety of fish species There is still concern about the mechanism of 137Cs acshycumulation in freshwater biota since the isotope is released in the liquid waste from nuclear power station reactors J inks and Wrenn (1976) modelled radiocesium uptake in fish by examining accumulashytion both directly from water through gills or inshygestion and indirectly from contaminated food Kolehmainen et al (1968) postulated four major factors governing levels of 137Cs in fish (1) 137Cs activity in the water (2) K concentration in the water (3) 137Cs activity of food sources and (4) the biological half-time of 137Cs in fish

226Ra is a naturally occurring radionucl ide which is an important contributor to the total radshyiation dose of man As well waste waters from urshyanium mines and mills often discharged into surshyrounding surface waters may contain high activishyties of 226Ra Havl ik (1970) reported an increase in 226Ra at Elliott Lake in an area of uranium ore exploration and mining from lt1 pCiL to 10-222 pCiL

The purpose of this study was to obtain backshyground data on the accumulation of 137Cs and 226Ra in several fish species Lakes chosen for sampling received onl globally distributed atmospheric fallout of 13 Cs and natural inputs of 226Ra They also represented different limnological features The west basin and McLeod and Christie Bays of Great Slave Lake (61-63degN 110-118degW) in the Northshywest Territories were sampled separately as were the north and south basins of Lake Winnipeg (51shy54degN 96-98degW) Basic limnological information on Great Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg can be found in Rawson (1950) and in Brunskill et al (1980) resshypectively Fish were also obtained from two Preshycambrian Shield Lakes in the Experimental Lakes Area northwestern Ontario (Brunskill et al 1971 and other papers in this vol ume) and fran Loui s Lake on the Saskatchewan-NWI border (61deg07N 104deg49W) The limnology of Louis Lake has not been studied Although it was not possible to obshytain the same species at all stations in total nine species were analyzed lake whitefish (Coreshy901~S clupeaformis) round whitefish ProsClTUm c ndraceum) ci sco (Core onus artedi ake trout Sa velinus namaycus sauger (Stizostedion canadense) burbot (Lota lota) longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomuiJ northern pi ke (E sox 1 ucshy~) and inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys) -- -shy

METHODS

FISH SAMPLES

Lake and round whitefish trout cisco longshynose sucker burbot pi ke and i nconnu from Great Slave Lake NWT were gillnetted during April and September 1978 at three stat ions near Snowdrift in Christie Bay off Fort Resolution in the West

Basin and near Fort Rel iance in McLeod Bay Total weight fork length and sex were detennined in the field The fish were then commercially dressed (head and viscera removed) frozen and shipped by air to the Freshwater Institute

Sauger were taken in a trapnet off Elk Island in the South Basin of Lake Winnipeg in June 1979 and lake whitefish in February from commercial gillnetting operations north of Long Point in the North Basin Whole fish were shipped to Winnipeg where they were coomercially dressed before analyshysis Fork lengths and total weights for saugers were taken on site lake whitefish were measured after defrosting in our laboratory

Lake whitefish and trout from Lakes 302S 226SW and 223 in the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) northwestern Ontario were gillnetted in the fall of 1979 Lake 302S fish had heads and viscera reshymoved in the field while the others were shipped whole to Winnipeg

In October 1978 after an unexplained fish kill in Louis Lake near the Saskatchewan-NWT boundary dead fish were collected fran along the lake shore frozen and shipped whole to the Instishytute for investigation We incl uded these fish in our survey although they were not sampled in the same manner and could not be gutted due to their partially decayed state

Fish samples were stored at -40degC and batches of samples were defrosted in a microwave oven as required If necessary fork lengths and total weights were measured and heads tails or viscera removed Approximately 300g of the remaining tisshysue was chopped into 3-5 on chunks for wet weighing and then dried for 2 days at 1l0degC to obtain a dry weight Pieces of dried fish were sequentially added to boiling 16M HN03 in a large beaker Trout pi ke i nconnu and burbot samples contai ned more fat and required considerable care and attenshytion to avoid excessive foaming HN03 was replenshyi shed unt il the ent i re sample was di gested and in solution When brown nitrous oxide fumes ceased the sample was allowed to evaporate to dryness The residue in the beaker was ashed in a muffle furnace at 450degC overni ght and then 16M HN03 was added to the sample for another digestion and evashyporation to dryness This latter procedure was reshypeated unt il a white ash of mi nimal vol ume was obshytained The ash was transferred to plastiC petri dishes weighed and then counted with dual 180deg optlOsed NaI detectors to determine the activity of 137Cs A count rate for 40K was obtained at the same time and was recorded for each sample Counting efficiencies for 137Cs and 40K were 195 and 8 respectively Twelve fish samples were spiked with known activities of 134Cs before dryshying and processing and a total yield of 85-95 was obtained for the method

The ash was then dissolved in water or dil ute HC1 and activity of 226Ra was determined by a charcoal extraction modification (G Mathieu L amont-D oherty Geolog ica1 Ob servatory persona1 cOf11l1unication) of the 222Rn emanation method of Broecker (1965) A more detailed TlIthodology is given in the section entitled Water Samples

In addition to the above analyses three lake trout from Lake 223 were dissected into muscle

Jone skin and viscera to determine if 13 Cs was concentrated in a particular fraction of the fish Because of small sample sizes trout with higher activities of 137Cs in muscle tissue were chosen Viscera and skin were removed and the remaining flesh microwaved so bones could be separated from the muscle Each portion was acid digested repeatshyedly as described earl ier and counted for 137Cs on a Geli gamma detector A NaI detector was not used because of interference fran other isotopes in the samples which were present due to an experimental radionuclide spike in lake 223

After 222Rn stripping the dissolved samples were analysed for stable elements All samples and blanks were brought up to a 200 ml volume Ca Zn and Cu were ana lysed by atomi c absorpt i on spectroshymetry An aliquot of the sample was diluted with an addition of 1 anthanum to suppress interference in the Ca analysis Zn and Cu measurements were done with simultaneous background correction Cu was extracted as the diethyl dithiocarbamate comshyplex into n-butyl acetate K was determined by atomic emission spectrometry and Ca was added to the standards at a level equivalent to that of the samples Repl icate analyses were done for Ca and K and standard deviations of 6 and 25 were obshytained

WATER SAMPLES

Surface water sampl es were al so taken from the three stations in Great Slave lake in September 1979 from lake 302S in March 1980 and from the North Basin of lake Winnipeg near long Point in June 1980 Three acid-washed 55 l plastic barrels were rinsed with lake water filled with surface water at each station and shipped to the Freshshywater Institute Samples were centrifuged (continshyuous flow 50 mlmin at 16500 rpm) to separate the particul ate from the dissolved phase The water was then acidified to ph 1 with reagent HC1 and flushed with He The barrels were sealed and the water allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks to allow growth of 222Rn from 226Ra 222Rn was then stripshyped from the 55 l by He bubbl ing trapped on a charcoal col umn cool ed in 1 i quid N2 and transfershyred to a counting cell Alpha disintegrations were counted on a specially designed scintillation counshyter Water samples spiked with known amounts of 226Ra were used to cal ibrate the method Barrel extract i on system and counting cell bl anks were ~~~~inelY done The barrel blank value was 91 pCi

The centrifuged water samples were then spikshyed with 134Cs and stable Cs Total Cs was collectshyed by cation exchange with AMP (ammonium molydoshyphos phate B i o-Rad AMP -1) powder added directly to the 160 l sample Samples were allowed to stand overnight after which the cl ear supernatant was siphoned off and the AMP crystals concentrated inshyto a small volume for drying and packing into plasshytic pet ri dishes The AMP powder samples were counted on aGel i gamma detector for approximately one day Yield for 134Cs tracer was 80-90 Counting efficiencies were determined from known activities of 134Cs added to AMP of the same volume and geometry as the samples The suspended particushy1ate matter collected from centrifuging was pl aced in plastic petri dishes and counted for 137Cs with a Geli detector

STATI STiCS

Means and standard deviations of total weights fork lengths and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra and concentrations of stable elements were calculated for each population (one species from a single location) on both the raw data and logshytransfonned val ues Both distribut ions were checkshyed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilks test (Shapiro and Wilk 1965) recoomended for sample sizes of less than 50 In populations where the fish had been sexed an F-test for homogeneity of variance and a t-test for equal ity of means were used to detennine if significant differences ( ct = 005) ex i sted between I11d 1es and females in si ze or activities of 137Cs and 226Ra

RESULTS

Activities of 137Cs 40K and 226Ra for each fish sample analyzed are given in Table 1 Where avail able fork lengths and total weights are al so shown along with the sample weights at different stages of preparation No significant differences were found in mean tota1 wei ght s fork 1engths or activities of 137Cs between males and females in any population Therefore sex of the fish was igshynored for the popul at ion means given in the summary Table 2

With few exceptions the variations in fork lengths 137Cs and 226Ra within each population were equally well explained by either the normal or log-nonnal distribution Total weights were genershyally log-normal Neither distribution described the variance in 137Cs or 226Ra in populations where a high proportion of the fish had activities near our lower limits of detection (cisco from Fort Resol ut i on trout from Snowdrift) The stat j st ics given in Table 2 are for log-transfonned data so that means which vary by orders of magnitude can be compared with relatively homogeneous variances

Frequency distributions for 137Cs and 226Ra in each fish population are shown in Figs 1 and 2 The total range in mean 137Cs activityweight for all populations was three orders of maw1tude Within a single species the activity of 137Cs was unique to the station sampled For example Fig 1 shows that there is practically no overlap in the distributions for whitefish from louis lake ElA Snowdrift and Fort Resolution There was a smaller range of 226Ra activities in these populations and in contrast to 137Cs appears to be controlled more by species than location (Fig 2)

It was considered that variations in mean 137Cs activity between speCies might be due to difshyfering proportions of skin bone and muscle in the samples Table 3 shows the results of dissecting three trout from lake 223 and analyzing these porshytions separately Muscle was the greatest contrishybutor to overall 137Cs activity (65-80) primarily due to its large contribution to total wet weight As a result the total sample activity (combined in Table 3) was almost identical to muscle alone

Stab1 e el ement chemi stry was determi ned for some fish samples from each location Concentrashytions of Ca K Cu and Zn are given in Table 4 and

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

INTRODUCTION

Numerous investigations of 137Cs bioaccumulashytion in fish began in the mid 1960s after major test i ng of thermonucl ear bombs and monitori ng of the resultant atmospheric fallout of radionucshylides Concentration factors (pCig in fish pCig in water) of from 55 (Porcella and Friend 1966) to 23000 (Kolehmainen et al 1966 1968) have been reported for a wide variety of fish species There is still concern about the mechanism of 137Cs acshycumulation in freshwater biota since the isotope is released in the liquid waste from nuclear power station reactors J inks and Wrenn (1976) modelled radiocesium uptake in fish by examining accumulashytion both directly from water through gills or inshygestion and indirectly from contaminated food Kolehmainen et al (1968) postulated four major factors governing levels of 137Cs in fish (1) 137Cs activity in the water (2) K concentration in the water (3) 137Cs activity of food sources and (4) the biological half-time of 137Cs in fish

226Ra is a naturally occurring radionucl ide which is an important contributor to the total radshyiation dose of man As well waste waters from urshyanium mines and mills often discharged into surshyrounding surface waters may contain high activishyties of 226Ra Havl ik (1970) reported an increase in 226Ra at Elliott Lake in an area of uranium ore exploration and mining from lt1 pCiL to 10-222 pCiL

The purpose of this study was to obtain backshyground data on the accumulation of 137Cs and 226Ra in several fish species Lakes chosen for sampling received onl globally distributed atmospheric fallout of 13 Cs and natural inputs of 226Ra They also represented different limnological features The west basin and McLeod and Christie Bays of Great Slave Lake (61-63degN 110-118degW) in the Northshywest Territories were sampled separately as were the north and south basins of Lake Winnipeg (51shy54degN 96-98degW) Basic limnological information on Great Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg can be found in Rawson (1950) and in Brunskill et al (1980) resshypectively Fish were also obtained from two Preshycambrian Shield Lakes in the Experimental Lakes Area northwestern Ontario (Brunskill et al 1971 and other papers in this vol ume) and fran Loui s Lake on the Saskatchewan-NWI border (61deg07N 104deg49W) The limnology of Louis Lake has not been studied Although it was not possible to obshytain the same species at all stations in total nine species were analyzed lake whitefish (Coreshy901~S clupeaformis) round whitefish ProsClTUm c ndraceum) ci sco (Core onus artedi ake trout Sa velinus namaycus sauger (Stizostedion canadense) burbot (Lota lota) longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomuiJ northern pi ke (E sox 1 ucshy~) and inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys) -- -shy

Basin and near Fort Rel iance in McLeod Bay Total weight fork length and sex were detennined in the field The fish were then commercially dressed (head and viscera removed) frozen and shipped by air to the Freshwater Institute

Sauger were taken in a trapnet off Elk Island in the South Basin of Lake Winnipeg in June 1979 and lake whitefish in February from commercial gillnetting operations north of Long Point in the North Basin Whole fish were shipped to Winnipeg where they were coomercially dressed before analyshysis Fork lengths and total weights for saugers were taken on site lake whitefish were measured after defrosting in our laboratory

Lake whitefish and trout from Lakes 302S 226SW and 223 in the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) northwestern Ontario were gillnetted in the fall of 1979 Lake 302S fish had heads and viscera reshymoved in the field while the others were shipped whole to Winnipeg

In October 1978 after an unexplained fish kill in Louis Lake near the Saskatchewan-NWT boundary dead fish were collected fran along the lake shore frozen and shipped whole to the Instishytute for investigation We incl uded these fish in our survey although they were not sampled in the same manner and could not be gutted due to their partially decayed state

Fish samples were stored at -40degC and batches of samples were defrosted in a microwave oven as required If necessary fork lengths and total weights were measured and heads tails or viscera removed Approximately 300g of the remaining tisshysue was chopped into 3-5 on chunks for wet weighing and then dried for 2 days at 1l0degC to obtain a dry weight Pieces of dried fish were sequentially added to boiling 16M HN03 in a large beaker Trout pi ke i nconnu and burbot samples contai ned more fat and required considerable care and attenshytion to avoid excessive foaming HN03 was replenshyi shed unt il the ent i re sample was di gested and in solution When brown nitrous oxide fumes ceased the sample was allowed to evaporate to dryness The residue in the beaker was ashed in a muffle furnace at 450degC overni ght and then 16M HN03 was added to the sample for another digestion and evashyporation to dryness This latter procedure was reshypeated unt il a white ash of mi nimal vol ume was obshytained The ash was transferred to plastiC petri dishes weighed and then counted with dual 180deg optlOsed NaI detectors to determine the activity of 137Cs A count rate for 40K was obtained at the same time and was recorded for each sample Counting efficiencies for 137Cs and 40K were 195 and 8 respectively Twelve fish samples were spiked with known activities of 134Cs before dryshying and processing and a total yield of 85-95 was obtained for the method

The ash was then dissolved in water or dil ute HC1 and activity of 226Ra was determined by a charcoal extraction modification (G Mathieu L amont-D oherty Geolog ica1 Ob servatory persona1 cOf11l1unication) of the 222Rn emanation method of Broecker (1965) A more detailed TlIthodology is given in the section entitled Water Samples

In addition to the above analyses three lake trout from Lake 223 were dissected into muscle

Jone skin and viscera to determine if 13 Cs was concentrated in a particular fraction of the fish Because of small sample sizes trout with higher activities of 137Cs in muscle tissue were chosen Viscera and skin were removed and the remaining flesh microwaved so bones could be separated from the muscle Each portion was acid digested repeatshyedly as described earl ier and counted for 137Cs on a Geli gamma detector A NaI detector was not used because of interference fran other isotopes in the samples which were present due to an experimental radionuclide spike in lake 223

After 222Rn stripping the dissolved samples were analysed for stable elements All samples and blanks were brought up to a 200 ml volume Ca Zn and Cu were ana lysed by atomi c absorpt i on spectroshymetry An aliquot of the sample was diluted with an addition of 1 anthanum to suppress interference in the Ca analysis Zn and Cu measurements were done with simultaneous background correction Cu was extracted as the diethyl dithiocarbamate comshyplex into n-butyl acetate K was determined by atomic emission spectrometry and Ca was added to the standards at a level equivalent to that of the samples Repl icate analyses were done for Ca and K and standard deviations of 6 and 25 were obshytained

WATER SAMPLES

Surface water sampl es were al so taken from the three stations in Great Slave lake in September 1979 from lake 302S in March 1980 and from the North Basin of lake Winnipeg near long Point in June 1980 Three acid-washed 55 l plastic barrels were rinsed with lake water filled with surface water at each station and shipped to the Freshshywater Institute Samples were centrifuged (continshyuous flow 50 mlmin at 16500 rpm) to separate the particul ate from the dissolved phase The water was then acidified to ph 1 with reagent HC1 and flushed with He The barrels were sealed and the water allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks to allow growth of 222Rn from 226Ra 222Rn was then stripshyped from the 55 l by He bubbl ing trapped on a charcoal col umn cool ed in 1 i quid N2 and transfershyred to a counting cell Alpha disintegrations were counted on a specially designed scintillation counshyter Water samples spiked with known amounts of 226Ra were used to cal ibrate the method Barrel extract i on system and counting cell bl anks were ~~~~inelY done The barrel blank value was 91 pCi

The centrifuged water samples were then spikshyed with 134Cs and stable Cs Total Cs was collectshyed by cation exchange with AMP (ammonium molydoshyphos phate B i o-Rad AMP -1) powder added directly to the 160 l sample Samples were allowed to stand overnight after which the cl ear supernatant was siphoned off and the AMP crystals concentrated inshyto a small volume for drying and packing into plasshytic pet ri dishes The AMP powder samples were counted on aGel i gamma detector for approximately one day Yield for 134Cs tracer was 80-90 Counting efficiencies were determined from known activities of 134Cs added to AMP of the same volume and geometry as the samples The suspended particushy1ate matter collected from centrifuging was pl aced in plastic petri dishes and counted for 137Cs with a Geli detector

STATI STiCS

Means and standard deviations of total weights fork lengths and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra and concentrations of stable elements were calculated for each population (one species from a single location) on both the raw data and logshytransfonned val ues Both distribut ions were checkshyed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilks test (Shapiro and Wilk 1965) recoomended for sample sizes of less than 50 In populations where the fish had been sexed an F-test for homogeneity of variance and a t-test for equal ity of means were used to detennine if significant differences ( ct = 005) ex i sted between I11d 1es and females in si ze or activities of 137Cs and 226Ra

RESULTS

Activities of 137Cs 40K and 226Ra for each fish sample analyzed are given in Table 1 Where avail able fork lengths and total weights are al so shown along with the sample weights at different stages of preparation No significant differences were found in mean tota1 wei ght s fork 1engths or activities of 137Cs between males and females in any population Therefore sex of the fish was igshynored for the popul at ion means given in the summary Table 2

With few exceptions the variations in fork lengths 137Cs and 226Ra within each population were equally well explained by either the normal or log-nonnal distribution Total weights were genershyally log-normal Neither distribution described the variance in 137Cs or 226Ra in populations where a high proportion of the fish had activities near our lower limits of detection (cisco from Fort Resol ut i on trout from Snowdrift) The stat j st ics given in Table 2 are for log-transfonned data so that means which vary by orders of magnitude can be compared with relatively homogeneous variances

Frequency distributions for 137Cs and 226Ra in each fish population are shown in Figs 1 and 2 The total range in mean 137Cs activityweight for all populations was three orders of maw1tude Within a single species the activity of 137Cs was unique to the station sampled For example Fig 1 shows that there is practically no overlap in the distributions for whitefish from louis lake ElA Snowdrift and Fort Resolution There was a smaller range of 226Ra activities in these populations and in contrast to 137Cs appears to be controlled more by species than location (Fig 2)

It was considered that variations in mean 137Cs activity between speCies might be due to difshyfering proportions of skin bone and muscle in the samples Table 3 shows the results of dissecting three trout from lake 223 and analyzing these porshytions separately Muscle was the greatest contrishybutor to overall 137Cs activity (65-80) primarily due to its large contribution to total wet weight As a result the total sample activity (combined in Table 3) was almost identical to muscle alone

Stab1 e el ement chemi stry was determi ned for some fish samples from each location Concentrashytions of Ca K Cu and Zn are given in Table 4 and

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

INTRODUCTION

Numerous investigations of 137Cs bioaccumulashytion in fish began in the mid 1960s after major test i ng of thermonucl ear bombs and monitori ng of the resultant atmospheric fallout of radionucshylides Concentration factors (pCig in fish pCig in water) of from 55 (Porcella and Friend 1966) to 23000 (Kolehmainen et al 1966 1968) have been reported for a wide variety of fish species There is still concern about the mechanism of 137Cs acshycumulation in freshwater biota since the isotope is released in the liquid waste from nuclear power station reactors J inks and Wrenn (1976) modelled radiocesium uptake in fish by examining accumulashytion both directly from water through gills or inshygestion and indirectly from contaminated food Kolehmainen et al (1968) postulated four major factors governing levels of 137Cs in fish (1) 137Cs activity in the water (2) K concentration in the water (3) 137Cs activity of food sources and (4) the biological half-time of 137Cs in fish

226Ra is a naturally occurring radionucl ide which is an important contributor to the total radshyiation dose of man As well waste waters from urshyanium mines and mills often discharged into surshyrounding surface waters may contain high activishyties of 226Ra Havl ik (1970) reported an increase in 226Ra at Elliott Lake in an area of uranium ore exploration and mining from lt1 pCiL to 10-222 pCiL

The purpose of this study was to obtain backshyground data on the accumulation of 137Cs and 226Ra in several fish species Lakes chosen for sampling received onl globally distributed atmospheric fallout of 13 Cs and natural inputs of 226Ra They also represented different limnological features The west basin and McLeod and Christie Bays of Great Slave Lake (61-63degN 110-118degW) in the Northshywest Territories were sampled separately as were the north and south basins of Lake Winnipeg (51shy54degN 96-98degW) Basic limnological information on Great Slave Lake and Lake Winnipeg can be found in Rawson (1950) and in Brunskill et al (1980) resshypectively Fish were also obtained from two Preshycambrian Shield Lakes in the Experimental Lakes Area northwestern Ontario (Brunskill et al 1971 and other papers in this vol ume) and fran Loui s Lake on the Saskatchewan-NWI border (61deg07N 104deg49W) The limnology of Louis Lake has not been studied Although it was not possible to obshytain the same species at all stations in total nine species were analyzed lake whitefish (Coreshy901~S clupeaformis) round whitefish ProsClTUm c ndraceum) ci sco (Core onus artedi ake trout Sa velinus namaycus sauger (Stizostedion canadense) burbot (Lota lota) longnose sucker (Catostomus catostomuiJ northern pi ke (E sox 1 ucshy~) and inconnu (Stenodus leucichthys) -- -shy

METHODS

FISH SAMPLES

Lake and round whitefish trout cisco longshynose sucker burbot pi ke and i nconnu from Great Slave Lake NWT were gillnetted during April and September 1978 at three stat ions near Snowdrift in Christie Bay off Fort Resolution in the West

Basin and near Fort Rel iance in McLeod Bay Total weight fork length and sex were detennined in the field The fish were then commercially dressed (head and viscera removed) frozen and shipped by air to the Freshwater Institute

Sauger were taken in a trapnet off Elk Island in the South Basin of Lake Winnipeg in June 1979 and lake whitefish in February from commercial gillnetting operations north of Long Point in the North Basin Whole fish were shipped to Winnipeg where they were coomercially dressed before analyshysis Fork lengths and total weights for saugers were taken on site lake whitefish were measured after defrosting in our laboratory

Lake whitefish and trout from Lakes 302S 226SW and 223 in the Experimental Lakes Area (ELA) northwestern Ontario were gillnetted in the fall of 1979 Lake 302S fish had heads and viscera reshymoved in the field while the others were shipped whole to Winnipeg

In October 1978 after an unexplained fish kill in Louis Lake near the Saskatchewan-NWT boundary dead fish were collected fran along the lake shore frozen and shipped whole to the Instishytute for investigation We incl uded these fish in our survey although they were not sampled in the same manner and could not be gutted due to their partially decayed state

Fish samples were stored at -40degC and batches of samples were defrosted in a microwave oven as required If necessary fork lengths and total weights were measured and heads tails or viscera removed Approximately 300g of the remaining tisshysue was chopped into 3-5 on chunks for wet weighing and then dried for 2 days at 1l0degC to obtain a dry weight Pieces of dried fish were sequentially added to boiling 16M HN03 in a large beaker Trout pi ke i nconnu and burbot samples contai ned more fat and required considerable care and attenshytion to avoid excessive foaming HN03 was replenshyi shed unt il the ent i re sample was di gested and in solution When brown nitrous oxide fumes ceased the sample was allowed to evaporate to dryness The residue in the beaker was ashed in a muffle furnace at 450degC overni ght and then 16M HN03 was added to the sample for another digestion and evashyporation to dryness This latter procedure was reshypeated unt il a white ash of mi nimal vol ume was obshytained The ash was transferred to plastiC petri dishes weighed and then counted with dual 180deg optlOsed NaI detectors to determine the activity of 137Cs A count rate for 40K was obtained at the same time and was recorded for each sample Counting efficiencies for 137Cs and 40K were 195 and 8 respectively Twelve fish samples were spiked with known activities of 134Cs before dryshying and processing and a total yield of 85-95 was obtained for the method

The ash was then dissolved in water or dil ute HC1 and activity of 226Ra was determined by a charcoal extraction modification (G Mathieu L amont-D oherty Geolog ica1 Ob servatory persona1 cOf11l1unication) of the 222Rn emanation method of Broecker (1965) A more detailed TlIthodology is given in the section entitled Water Samples

In addition to the above analyses three lake trout from Lake 223 were dissected into muscle

Jone skin and viscera to determine if 13 Cs was concentrated in a particular fraction of the fish Because of small sample sizes trout with higher activities of 137Cs in muscle tissue were chosen Viscera and skin were removed and the remaining flesh microwaved so bones could be separated from the muscle Each portion was acid digested repeatshyedly as described earl ier and counted for 137Cs on a Geli gamma detector A NaI detector was not used because of interference fran other isotopes in the samples which were present due to an experimental radionuclide spike in lake 223

After 222Rn stripping the dissolved samples were analysed for stable elements All samples and blanks were brought up to a 200 ml volume Ca Zn and Cu were ana lysed by atomi c absorpt i on spectroshymetry An aliquot of the sample was diluted with an addition of 1 anthanum to suppress interference in the Ca analysis Zn and Cu measurements were done with simultaneous background correction Cu was extracted as the diethyl dithiocarbamate comshyplex into n-butyl acetate K was determined by atomic emission spectrometry and Ca was added to the standards at a level equivalent to that of the samples Repl icate analyses were done for Ca and K and standard deviations of 6 and 25 were obshytained

WATER SAMPLES

Surface water sampl es were al so taken from the three stations in Great Slave lake in September 1979 from lake 302S in March 1980 and from the North Basin of lake Winnipeg near long Point in June 1980 Three acid-washed 55 l plastic barrels were rinsed with lake water filled with surface water at each station and shipped to the Freshshywater Institute Samples were centrifuged (continshyuous flow 50 mlmin at 16500 rpm) to separate the particul ate from the dissolved phase The water was then acidified to ph 1 with reagent HC1 and flushed with He The barrels were sealed and the water allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks to allow growth of 222Rn from 226Ra 222Rn was then stripshyped from the 55 l by He bubbl ing trapped on a charcoal col umn cool ed in 1 i quid N2 and transfershyred to a counting cell Alpha disintegrations were counted on a specially designed scintillation counshyter Water samples spiked with known amounts of 226Ra were used to cal ibrate the method Barrel extract i on system and counting cell bl anks were ~~~~inelY done The barrel blank value was 91 pCi

The centrifuged water samples were then spikshyed with 134Cs and stable Cs Total Cs was collectshyed by cation exchange with AMP (ammonium molydoshyphos phate B i o-Rad AMP -1) powder added directly to the 160 l sample Samples were allowed to stand overnight after which the cl ear supernatant was siphoned off and the AMP crystals concentrated inshyto a small volume for drying and packing into plasshytic pet ri dishes The AMP powder samples were counted on aGel i gamma detector for approximately one day Yield for 134Cs tracer was 80-90 Counting efficiencies were determined from known activities of 134Cs added to AMP of the same volume and geometry as the samples The suspended particushy1ate matter collected from centrifuging was pl aced in plastic petri dishes and counted for 137Cs with a Geli detector

STATI STiCS

Means and standard deviations of total weights fork lengths and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra and concentrations of stable elements were calculated for each population (one species from a single location) on both the raw data and logshytransfonned val ues Both distribut ions were checkshyed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilks test (Shapiro and Wilk 1965) recoomended for sample sizes of less than 50 In populations where the fish had been sexed an F-test for homogeneity of variance and a t-test for equal ity of means were used to detennine if significant differences ( ct = 005) ex i sted between I11d 1es and females in si ze or activities of 137Cs and 226Ra

RESULTS

Activities of 137Cs 40K and 226Ra for each fish sample analyzed are given in Table 1 Where avail able fork lengths and total weights are al so shown along with the sample weights at different stages of preparation No significant differences were found in mean tota1 wei ght s fork 1engths or activities of 137Cs between males and females in any population Therefore sex of the fish was igshynored for the popul at ion means given in the summary Table 2

With few exceptions the variations in fork lengths 137Cs and 226Ra within each population were equally well explained by either the normal or log-nonnal distribution Total weights were genershyally log-normal Neither distribution described the variance in 137Cs or 226Ra in populations where a high proportion of the fish had activities near our lower limits of detection (cisco from Fort Resol ut i on trout from Snowdrift) The stat j st ics given in Table 2 are for log-transfonned data so that means which vary by orders of magnitude can be compared with relatively homogeneous variances

Frequency distributions for 137Cs and 226Ra in each fish population are shown in Figs 1 and 2 The total range in mean 137Cs activityweight for all populations was three orders of maw1tude Within a single species the activity of 137Cs was unique to the station sampled For example Fig 1 shows that there is practically no overlap in the distributions for whitefish from louis lake ElA Snowdrift and Fort Resolution There was a smaller range of 226Ra activities in these populations and in contrast to 137Cs appears to be controlled more by species than location (Fig 2)

It was considered that variations in mean 137Cs activity between speCies might be due to difshyfering proportions of skin bone and muscle in the samples Table 3 shows the results of dissecting three trout from lake 223 and analyzing these porshytions separately Muscle was the greatest contrishybutor to overall 137Cs activity (65-80) primarily due to its large contribution to total wet weight As a result the total sample activity (combined in Table 3) was almost identical to muscle alone

Stab1 e el ement chemi stry was determi ned for some fish samples from each location Concentrashytions of Ca K Cu and Zn are given in Table 4 and

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

Jone skin and viscera to determine if 13 Cs was concentrated in a particular fraction of the fish Because of small sample sizes trout with higher activities of 137Cs in muscle tissue were chosen Viscera and skin were removed and the remaining flesh microwaved so bones could be separated from the muscle Each portion was acid digested repeatshyedly as described earl ier and counted for 137Cs on a Geli gamma detector A NaI detector was not used because of interference fran other isotopes in the samples which were present due to an experimental radionuclide spike in lake 223

After 222Rn stripping the dissolved samples were analysed for stable elements All samples and blanks were brought up to a 200 ml volume Ca Zn and Cu were ana lysed by atomi c absorpt i on spectroshymetry An aliquot of the sample was diluted with an addition of 1 anthanum to suppress interference in the Ca analysis Zn and Cu measurements were done with simultaneous background correction Cu was extracted as the diethyl dithiocarbamate comshyplex into n-butyl acetate K was determined by atomic emission spectrometry and Ca was added to the standards at a level equivalent to that of the samples Repl icate analyses were done for Ca and K and standard deviations of 6 and 25 were obshytained

WATER SAMPLES

Surface water sampl es were al so taken from the three stations in Great Slave lake in September 1979 from lake 302S in March 1980 and from the North Basin of lake Winnipeg near long Point in June 1980 Three acid-washed 55 l plastic barrels were rinsed with lake water filled with surface water at each station and shipped to the Freshshywater Institute Samples were centrifuged (continshyuous flow 50 mlmin at 16500 rpm) to separate the particul ate from the dissolved phase The water was then acidified to ph 1 with reagent HC1 and flushed with He The barrels were sealed and the water allowed to stand for 1-2 weeks to allow growth of 222Rn from 226Ra 222Rn was then stripshyped from the 55 l by He bubbl ing trapped on a charcoal col umn cool ed in 1 i quid N2 and transfershyred to a counting cell Alpha disintegrations were counted on a specially designed scintillation counshyter Water samples spiked with known amounts of 226Ra were used to cal ibrate the method Barrel extract i on system and counting cell bl anks were ~~~~inelY done The barrel blank value was 91 pCi

The centrifuged water samples were then spikshyed with 134Cs and stable Cs Total Cs was collectshyed by cation exchange with AMP (ammonium molydoshyphos phate B i o-Rad AMP -1) powder added directly to the 160 l sample Samples were allowed to stand overnight after which the cl ear supernatant was siphoned off and the AMP crystals concentrated inshyto a small volume for drying and packing into plasshytic pet ri dishes The AMP powder samples were counted on aGel i gamma detector for approximately one day Yield for 134Cs tracer was 80-90 Counting efficiencies were determined from known activities of 134Cs added to AMP of the same volume and geometry as the samples The suspended particushy1ate matter collected from centrifuging was pl aced in plastic petri dishes and counted for 137Cs with a Geli detector

STATI STiCS

Means and standard deviations of total weights fork lengths and activities of 137Cs and 226Ra and concentrations of stable elements were calculated for each population (one species from a single location) on both the raw data and logshytransfonned val ues Both distribut ions were checkshyed for normality with the Shapiro-Wilks test (Shapiro and Wilk 1965) recoomended for sample sizes of less than 50 In populations where the fish had been sexed an F-test for homogeneity of variance and a t-test for equal ity of means were used to detennine if significant differences ( ct = 005) ex i sted between I11d 1es and females in si ze or activities of 137Cs and 226Ra

RESULTS

Activities of 137Cs 40K and 226Ra for each fish sample analyzed are given in Table 1 Where avail able fork lengths and total weights are al so shown along with the sample weights at different stages of preparation No significant differences were found in mean tota1 wei ght s fork 1engths or activities of 137Cs between males and females in any population Therefore sex of the fish was igshynored for the popul at ion means given in the summary Table 2

With few exceptions the variations in fork lengths 137Cs and 226Ra within each population were equally well explained by either the normal or log-nonnal distribution Total weights were genershyally log-normal Neither distribution described the variance in 137Cs or 226Ra in populations where a high proportion of the fish had activities near our lower limits of detection (cisco from Fort Resol ut i on trout from Snowdrift) The stat j st ics given in Table 2 are for log-transfonned data so that means which vary by orders of magnitude can be compared with relatively homogeneous variances

Frequency distributions for 137Cs and 226Ra in each fish population are shown in Figs 1 and 2 The total range in mean 137Cs activityweight for all populations was three orders of maw1tude Within a single species the activity of 137Cs was unique to the station sampled For example Fig 1 shows that there is practically no overlap in the distributions for whitefish from louis lake ElA Snowdrift and Fort Resolution There was a smaller range of 226Ra activities in these populations and in contrast to 137Cs appears to be controlled more by species than location (Fig 2)

It was considered that variations in mean 137Cs activity between speCies might be due to difshyfering proportions of skin bone and muscle in the samples Table 3 shows the results of dissecting three trout from lake 223 and analyzing these porshytions separately Muscle was the greatest contrishybutor to overall 137Cs activity (65-80) primarily due to its large contribution to total wet weight As a result the total sample activity (combined in Table 3) was almost identical to muscle alone

Stab1 e el ement chemi stry was determi ned for some fish samples from each location Concentrashytions of Ca K Cu and Zn are given in Table 4 and

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

Footnotes

The length measurement for these fish is dorsal fin to fork of tail

t The Louis Lake fish were received whole and partly decayed Heads were removed but gut contents were included in the sample counted

t A minus (_) sign is a denotation that this datum is a sum of two separately analyzed portions of the fish sample

t Not detectable above background 22 6Ra

Table 2 Means and one standard deviation errors for activities of 137Cs and 22 6Ra and for total wet weight and fork length of fish populations from Great Slave Lake Louis Lakeuro Lake Winnipeg and ELA All statistics were done on log-transformed data The number in brackets is the sample size (n) The sample size given for 137Cs also applies to total weight and fork length

means and standard devi at ions for eiJch popul at i on are shown in Table 5 Ratios of K 137Cs are al so given because Jinks and Wrenn (1976) hypothes1zedthat 137Cs uptake in fi sh is inversely rel ated to the concentration of K in water Ratios in Table 4 are not constant but vary directly with the 1argerange in 137Cs activities Ca 226Ra are presented because the two elements are chemically similar and therefore interchangeable for one another durshying assimilation

Percent abundances (100 x 40K39K) of 40K ih the fish samples (Table 4) were relathely conshystant but consistently higher than the reportednatural global value of 0OI18~ (Friedlander et a1 1964)

Most of the 137cs in Great Sl ave Lake ELA Lake 302S and the North Basin of Lake Winnipeg surface waters was in the di ssolved phase (supershynatant after centrifugation) and less than 201 of the total was on the particular matter (Table 6) The 226Ra values in Table 6 are also for the disshysolved fraction No detectable amount was found on the particUlate material

Footnotes

The length measurement for these fish is dorsal fin to fork of tail

t The Louis Lake fish were received whole and partly decayed Heads were removed but gut contents were included in the sample counted

t A minus (_) sign is a denotation that this datum is a sum of two separately analyzed portions of the fish sample

t Not detectable above background 22 6Ra

Table 2 Means and one standard deviation errors for activities of 137Cs and 22 6Ra and for total wet weight and fork length of fish populations from Great Slave Lake Louis Lakeuro Lake Winnipeg and ELA All statistics were done on log-transformed data The number in brackets is the sample size (n) The sample size given for 137Cs also applies to total weight and fork length

Footnotes

The length measurement for these fish is dorsal fin to fork of tail

t The Louis Lake fish were received whole and partly decayed Heads were removed but gut contents were included in the sample counted

t A minus (_) sign is a denotation that this datum is a sum of two separately analyzed portions of the fish sample

t Not detectable above background 22 6Ra

Table 2 Means and one standard deviation errors for activities of 137Cs and 22 6Ra and for total wet weight and fork length of fish populations from Great Slave Lake Louis Lakeuro Lake Winnipeg and ELA All statistics were done on log-transformed data The number in brackets is the sample size (n) The sample size given for 137Cs also applies to total weight and fork length

Footnotes

The length measurement for these fish is dorsal fin to fork of tail

t The Louis Lake fish were received whole and partly decayed Heads were removed but gut contents were included in the sample counted

t A minus (_) sign is a denotation that this datum is a sum of two separately analyzed portions of the fish sample

t Not detectable above background 22 6Ra

Table 2 Means and one standard deviation errors for activities of 137Cs and 22 6Ra and for total wet weight and fork length of fish populations from Great Slave Lake Louis Lakeuro Lake Winnipeg and ELA All statistics were done on log-transformed data The number in brackets is the sample size (n) The sample size given for 137Cs also applies to total weight and fork length

Footnotes

The length measurement for these fish is dorsal fin to fork of tail

t The Louis Lake fish were received whole and partly decayed Heads were removed but gut contents were included in the sample counted

t A minus (_) sign is a denotation that this datum is a sum of two separately analyzed portions of the fish sample

t Not detectable above background 22 6Ra

Table 2 Means and one standard deviation errors for activities of 137Cs and 22 6Ra and for total wet weight and fork length of fish populations from Great Slave Lake Louis Lakeuro Lake Winnipeg and ELA All statistics were done on log-transformed data The number in brackets is the sample size (n) The sample size given for 137Cs also applies to total weight and fork length
