Data on 137Cs concentration factor of freshwater fish and aquatic organisms in lake and river ecosystems.

ABSTRACT: This article provides the data which were analyzed in the research article "Different factors determine 137Cs concentration factors of freshwater fish and aquatic organisms in lake and river ecosystems" (Y. Ishii, S. S. Matsuzaki, S. Hayashi, 2019) [1]. Radionuclide accumulation in aquatic organism is defined in terms of the concentration factor (CF), which is calculated as the radionuclide concentration in the organism (Bq kg-1) divided by that in the surrounding water (Bq L-1). Quantification of the radionuclide CF allows estimation of environmental radionuclide transfer and the potential risks of consuming fish contaminated with the radionuclide. We calculated the 137Cs CF values for freshwater fish and aquatic organisms using the monitoring data of multiple sites in five rivers and thr
