A detailed description of the forms, living habits, populations, and specific 

 relationships of the aquatic biological components at the Atoll is beyond the scope of this 

 report. A significant number of articles published between 1955 and 1974 describing the 

 research conducted at the Enewetak Marine Biological Laboratory were compiled 

 recently in a three-volume report (Mid-Pacific Marine Laboratory, 1976). The individual 

 reports dealing with specific ecological studies at the Atoll are too numerous to list. The 

 reader is referred to the compilation for descriptions of the biology and ecology of the 

 Atoll. 



The most severe radiological impact on the aquatic environment of Enewetak 

 occurred during the nuclear-test years between 1948 and 1958. The types of nuclear 

 events, shot frequencies, geographical locations, yields, generated particles, conditions 

 after the tests, and other factors determined the resulting distributions of transuranics 

 and influenced the physical and chemical forms of the elements deposited in the benthic 

 environment. A brief liistorical review of testing at Enewetak, abstracted from several
