Abstract: After Chernobyl in April 1986, radioactive cesium has been measured in Øvre Heidalsvatn, a Norwegian subalpine lake, situated in an area of high fallout. The lake is an important reference site and has been the subject of extensive ecosystem studies since the 1950s. Emphasis has been given to measuring long-term trends in the activity content of radioactive cesium in the Brown trout (Salmo trutta) population.
