AbstractThis is a data set which was analyzed in the research article “Different factors determine Cs-137 concentration factors of freshwater fish and aquatic organisms in lake and river ecosystems” (https://doi.org/10.1016/j.jenvrad.2019.106102) and reported in the data paper "Data on 137Cs concentration factor of freshwater fish and aquatic organisms in lake and river ecosystems"(https://doi.org/10.1016/j.dib.2019.105043). 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) divided by that in the surrounding water (Bq/ L). 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 Cs-137 CF values for freshwater fish using the monitoring data of multiple sites in rivers and lakes of Fukushima (the Radioactive Material Monitoring Surveys of the Water Environment sponsored by the Japanese Ministry of the Environment) after the Fukushima Dai-ichi Nuclear Power Plant accident. This dataset provides the data of years 2013-2019 including the data of years 2013-2017 which was published in the data paper.
