Abstract
Radionuclide concentration in commercial fish species of Kuwait has been determined primarily with the intention of creating the baseline for 210Po, 137Cs, 40K, 226Ra, 224Ra, 228Ra, and 90Sr. This baseline information can be useful for issuing food advisories and determining annual intakes and radiation doses due to fish consumption. The highest fresh weight concentration of 210Po and 90Sr was in Battan and the lowest in Sobaity. Highest fresh weight 40K concentration was observed in Meid and the lowest in Battan. The 224Ra, 226Ra and 228Ra concentrations were highest in Meid, whereas the lowest was in Nuwaibi. In all the collected fish samples, 137Cs was below the detection limit.
