Description

Orchestia gammarellus females and males were X-irradiated with doses of 2,300-40,000R. The LD 50/20 is 2,300R. No egg-laying was observed in any irradiated females. Radiosensitivity of embryos was higher than that of the female parent

Abstract (French)

Des males et des femelles d'Orchestia gammarellus sont soumis a des doses de rayons X allant de 2300 a 40000R. La dose lethale 50% a 20 jours est de 2300R. Aucune ponte n'est observee chez les femelles irradiees meme pour des doses faibles. D'autre part, les embryons presentent une radiosensibilite plus grande que leur mere
