Relationships between the 137Cs activity concentration of wild boar muscle samples collected in the low-activity-concentration season (July to September) from inside the difficult-to-return zone (DRZ) and (a) 137Cs deposition on soil (log10 Bq/m2), (b) body length (cm), and (c) body weight (kg). Results of the regression analysis are based on mixed linear models using years as random variables and the adjusted coefficient of determination (R2) are shown in the figures. The linear regression equation (red line) is shown only when a significant difference between the two variables was observed.
