Effects of low-level chronic irradiation on embryonic development of marine fish and invertebrates

Description
Studies to determine the effects of long-term exposure of marine organisms to low levels of tritium were initiated at MRL, Sequim. The first phase of the studies has involved the exposure of developing eggs of the coon stripe shrimp, Pandalus danae, and Dungeness crab, Cancer magister, to concentrations of 0.01, 0.001, and 0.0001 millicuries per liter of tritium throughout embryogenesis and larval development. Culturing problems were encountered with both species. A second series of exposures is being conducted using a modified culturing system
