Marine vertebrates
Pelagic and bottom (demersal) fish fauna are the most important links within the marine trophic ecosystem in Arctic and Sub-Arctic latitudes. Fish, on the one hand, concentrate energy from lower trophic levels and, on the other hand, serve as a food sourc

Foreword This volume represents a major synthesis of literature on the oceanographic and biological conditions influencing the transfer and accumulation of radionuclides throughout the Northern European seas. The volume provides an integrated view of artificial radionuclide transformation and trophic dynamies; inputs of global, regional and local sources to the radioactivity inventory of the Polar Ocean, its marginal seas, and North Atlantic ecosystems; and the bio-oceanographic proces ses and phenomena that contribute to the assimilation capacity of marine ecosystems for radioactive pollutants. Through their extensive activities in this remarkable region the authors have achieved a unique perspective on radioecology which they encapsulate in this volu
