Radioisotopic methods in hydrobiology

In this book we find detailed descriptions of the physical background of radioactivity and phenomena of scintillation processes. The reader can find the necessary information in textbooks and special reviews, such as Sheppard (1962), Brandsome (1970), Kobayashi and Mauds-ley (1974), Neame and Homewood (1974). Crooks and Johnson (1977). Faires and Boswell (1981), and Peng (1981). Also description of all versions of known methods given in the literature, and abbreviate the discussions in the literature on controversies over these versions. Only short notes will be given on the main existing versions and their evaluation in comparison with the version here recommended and described in detail. The use of radio-isotopic techniques offers a wide range of methodological possibilities in this field.
