Abstract:Abstract. A model of the radionuclide accumulation in fish taking into account the contribution of different tissues and allometry is presented. The basic model assumptions are as follows: (i) A fish organism is represented by several compartments in which radionuclides are homogeneously distributed; (ii) The compartments correspond to three groups of organs/tissues: muscle, bones and organs (kidney, liver, gonads, etc.) differing in metabolic function; (iii) Two input compartments include gills absorbing cont… Show more
