Abstract
Low level counting techniques with a hyper pure germanium detector wer e used to analyse the Cs-137 and K-40 contents in tuna fish filets dur ing the period 1992 to 1995 and in sardine samples during the period 1 994 to 1995. The average value of the specific activities for Cs-137 i s 0.59 +/- 0.21 Bq.kg(-1) in tuna filets and 0.39 +/- 0.09 Bq.kg(-1) i n sardine; this is rather low and comparable to concentrations found i n other species elsewhere.
