✦ Synopsis

An in-house blind trial on Norway lobster (Nephrops norvegicus) was carried out in which 72 coded samples were correctly identiÐed. The samples were either left unirradiated or had been given doses of 1É03, 2É39 or 3É40 kGy and stored for 0, 7 or 14 days at 1¡C. Using re-irradiation, the doses received by the samples identiÐed as irradiated were determined with either linear, quadratic or asymptotic equations being Ðtted to the data. The most successful estimates of absorbed dose were obtained using a quadratic Ðt, with average values of 1É71, 2É98 and 3É45 kGy being calculated.
