Abstract

Radionuclide concentrations in wharf roaches inhabiting coastal areas of Honshu, Japan, were investigated in October 2011 and June 2012. Relative high concentrations of ^110mAg (2.1–127 Bq kg-wet⁻¹), ¹³⁴Cs (2.6–61 Bq kg-wet⁻¹), and ¹³⁷Cs (3.5–92 Bq kg-wet⁻¹) were detected in specimens from the eastern Honshu areas. Significantly lower ¹³⁷Cs concentrations (0.7–1.6 Bq kg-wet⁻¹) were detected in specimens from western and northern Honshu. The decay-corrected ¹³⁷Cs concentration was significantly inversely correlated with the distance from the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant. Thus, wharf roach may serve as a good bioindicator for monitoring radioactive contamination of its habitats.
