S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Atomic Energy Commission to conduct cooperative research on shellfish and other marine organisms using radioactive tracer methods. The Acting Director of the Service announced on October 14 that the new research project—a survey of radioactivity in marine invertebrate animals—will be conducted at the U, S, Fish- eries Biological Laboratory at Beaufort, N. C. The agreement between the Service and the AEC provides for cooperative financing and supervision of the research project.
