Jupiter's radiation belts are low energy charged particles. Those multiply PF by 20 instead of dividing it by 100 like cosmic rays. So you have to go into the rad belts until they hit 2000 rads/week before it equals the "normal" threat of interplanetary space beyond Earth's magnetosphere.
Note that you'll have to do major aquaforming on Europa's oceans to create any sort of ecology for the mermaids to live in. The oxygen content of the waters of Europa is probably near zero.
