Popis: The present occurrence of 226Ra and 228Ra in marine sediment core and fish from the Exclusive Economic Zone in the east coast of Peninsular Malaysia were studied. Sediment core and biota in respectively was collected using multicorer device and purchased from local fishermen at identified stations during the cruise expedition conducted in 2008. The purpose of this study was to determine and to make available an inventory of activity concentration levels and activity ratio for these radionuclides in this region. The activity concentrations of 226Ra and 228Ra in sediment core and edible part of fish were ranged between 15.9–46.5 and 27.7–87.1 Bq/kg dry wt and; 0.80–2.13 and
