The organisms were cultivated for 7d in well water contaminated with ¹³⁷Cs. The experimental results show that the accumulation level of tissues of carassius auratus had the order of gill> viscera> epidermis (including scales)> bone (including head and tail)> flesh. The concentration capability of them had the order of shrimp> carassius auratus> ophiocephalus argus. The concentration factors (CF) of shrimp was 12.6 times of that of ophiocephalus argus.
