Abstract
IN recent months we have been carrying out experiments on the behaviour of fish in heavy water. We find that goldfish (Carassius auratus) behaved quite normally in the heavy water in which they were kept. As heavy water was to be used as in dicator of normal water, we had to carry out our experiments in water containing only 0.5 mol. per cent of diplogen, and it is therefore still possible that a higher concentration of this isotope in water exerts effects upon fish.
