Radioactivity Levels in Ohio's Resident Canada Goose (Branta Canadensis) Populations
Author Institution: Ohio Cooperative Wildlife Research Unit, Department of Zoology, The Ohio State University Gross beta and mCs radioactivity levels were determined for pectoralis muscle of resident Canada geese (Branta canadensis) in 3 wildlife areas in Ohio. The mean mCs level was 0.9 dpm/g dry w...
