SUMMARY 1. Ecotoxicological models used to assess the effects of radionuclides on freshwater ecosystems and the potential transfer to humans depend on accurate laboratory estimates of the elimination rate of radionuclides in fish. We determined experimentally the elimination rate (excretion) of caes...
